Complications of diabetes constitute a burden for the individuals and the whole society.</p> <p><em>Methods</em></p> <p>In the present paper, ordinary differential equations and numerical approximations are used to monitor the size of populations of diabetes with and without complications.</p> <p><em>Results</em></p> <p>Different scenarios are discussed according to a set of parameters and the dynamical evolution of the population from the stage of diabetes to the stage of diabetes with complications is clearly illustrated.</p> <p><em>Conclusions</em></p> <p>The model shows how efficient and cost-effective strategies can be obtained by acting on diabetes incidence and/or controlling the evolution to the stage of complications.</p> <p> </p> <p><em>Source: </em><em>BioMedical Engineering OnLine vol 3,</em> <em>2004</em> </p> <p><em>This is an Open Access article: verbatim copying and redistribution of this article are permitted in all media for any purpose, provided this notice is preserved along with the article's original URL.</em></p>
