Abstract
Diabetes is a lifelong disease that affect the way the body regulates blood glucose. Type 2 diabetes occurs when β cells do not produce enough insulin to regulate glucose in the blood. In this paper the authors used exercise as a tool to predict the optimal effect of glucose regulation in a diabetic patient using simulation. Computer simulations were performed on the proposed mathematical model to determine the number of heartbeats a diabetic patient need to train in other to regulate the glucose level to normalcy. This cross-sectional study took place at Sunyani Regional Hospital, one of the 10 regions in Ghana, between September 2018 and May 2019. The simulations show the effects of different rate of exercise on glucose level. The results shows that the optimal heartbeat for a diabetic patients is 140 beats per minute corresponding to a rate of 0.8. If this is done continuously for at least 3 times in a week, the glucose level could be regulated to normal within 50 weeks.
