The method and system includes one or more modules for recursive model identification, hypoglycemia early alert and alarm, adaptive control, hyperglycemia early alert and alarm, plasma insulin concentration estimation, assessment of physical activity (e.g., presence, type, duration, expected effects on insulin sensitivity and GC), detection of acute stress and assessment of its impact on insulin sensitivity, detection of sleep and its stages and assessment of sleep stages on GC, sensor fault detection and diagnosis, software and controller performance evaluation and adjustment and/or pump fault detection and diagnosis.

A method and a system for determining insulin sensitivity (IS) is described. In one aspect the method and the system can be implemented by receiving a first parameter corresponding to an insulin dose in a subcutaneous tissue; applying a first kinetic model to obtain a plasma insulin concentration based on the first parameter; receiving a second parameter corresponding to a plasma glucose concentration; determining the insulin sensitivity (IS) based on the plasma insulin concentration and the second parameter.

The invention belongs to the field of traditional Chinese medicine manufacturing, and relates to application of leonurine to preparation of a medicament for treating 2-type diabetes. Animal experiments prove that the fasting blood glucose of a 2-type diabetes mouse, i.e., a db/db mouse, can be lowered by the leonurine, and the tolerance of oral glucose is improved; and meanwhile, fasting plasma insulin is increased, the plasma triglyceride is reduced and the content of the plasma high-density lipoprotein is increased. Experiment results also show that the expression of liver glucose metabolic enzymes such as glucokinase, glucose-6-phosphatase and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxyl enzyme is adjusted by the leonurine in an Akt dependent mode; and the biological response of an inflammatory mediator, such as generation of TNF (Tumor Necrosis Factor)-alpha, degradation of IkB-alpha and subsequent phosphorylation of NF-kBp65, is suppressed. Through the leonurine, the inflammatory state of the 2-type diabetes can be corrected, and the symptoms of the 2-type diabetes can be improved; and the leonurine can be used as a treatment medicament to be applied to the treatment of the 2-type diabetes.

The present invention provides novel resistant starches, methods to make the resistant starches, and methods to use the resistant starches. These resistant starches may be used as an ingredient in a variety of foods to impart health benefits, such as: decreasing plasma insulin response; decreasing plasma glucose response; increasing colonic fermentation; decreasing the risk of colon cancer; increasing digestive health; decreasing colonic pH. The methods for making the novel modified resistant starches dramatically decrease the cost of producing them.

The invention discloses a comprehensive utilization method for potato residues, potato juice and modified starch based on juicing of potatoes. The method comprises the following steps: with cleaned, sorted and sieved potatoes as a raw material, carrying out juicing on the potatoes in the process of extraction of starch from the potatoes; separating starch so as to obtain potato residues and potato juice; and separately conveying the potato residues and the potato juice to respective treating zones for treatment via pipelines or conveyer belts. According to the invention, juicing is carried out on the basis of extraction of starch from the potatoes and then comprehensive treatment is carried out on the products, i.e., the potato residues, the potato juice and the starch, so the industrialization level of the potato industry is improved and application of potatoes as staple food grain is promoted. In the process of processing, flour and potato modified starch adsorb and bond with water molecules, and cross-linking and coagulation occur, so a novel crystal structure is formed; the novel crystal structure is low in solubility in water, enzymatic hydrolysis is reduced, and digestion and absorption are slowed down; and thus, the composition of starch in wheaten food can be changed, and rise in blood sugar and the reaction of plasma insulin after meal are delayed.

The present invention relates to novel mangiferin calcium and its preparation and use. The mangiferin calcium can lower plasma insulin, glucose, lipid, also can improve the solubility and oral bioavailability of mangiferin.

The invention relates to the technical field of treatment of insulin resistance, and in particular relates to application of a cytokine GMFB, and application of the GMFB as a biomarker of insulin resistance. Experiments discover that GMFB as an inflammatory factor is high in expression in an insulin resistance state caused by high fat diet and is not expressed or extremely low in expression in a normal condition, which indicates that GMFB plays a role in adipose tissues in the insulin resistance state and can inhibit the functions of the adipose tissues. The plasma insulin concentration of a high-fat diet rat after GMFB gene knockout is obviously reduced compared with that of a wild type high-fat diet rat, which indicates that the GMFB gene knockout can improve insulin resistance caused by high-fat diet; GMFB gene knockout obviously improves the glucose tolerance of SD rats; the insulin tolerance is improved; the functions of fat cells are improved.
