A Linear Population Model for Diabetes Millitus

Abstract

Diabetes  and  its associated complications  have been increasing  at an alarming rate  worldwide. Prevalence of diabetes is higher in developed countries  than  in  the developing  countries, however during the past two decades diabetes mellitus was reported higher in developing countries. A mathematical study of the size of population of diabetes mellitus is carried out in this paper. By appropriate definition of  a  parameter , the mathematical model may be classified as linear or non-linear. Here, linear differential equations are developed and  solved  by numerical methods.
