Automatic computation of the glycemic index: data driven analysis of the glucose standard

The Glycemic Index (GI) is a tool for classifying carbohydrates based on their impact on postprandial glycemia, useful for diabetes prevention and management. This study applies a mathematical model for a data driven simulation of the glycemic response following glucose ingestion. The analysis reveals a direct correlation between glucose response profiles and parameters describing glucose absorption, enabling the classification of subjects into three groups based on the timing of their glycemic peak. Our results offer potential applications for both glycemic index simulation and advancing biological studies on diabetes.
