2. [5 pts] Customize the model in Q.1 for a type-1 diabetic subject (Subject D1) by altering B,

the model parameter that controls the production rate of insulin by the pancreas. Reduce B

to 20% of the normal subject's value. Establish the equilibrium conditions for type-1 diabetic

subject by running the simulation over 24 hours without any external glucose input (i.e.,

U (t) = 0).

Show the graph of glucose and insulin concentrations as a function of time (similar to Q.1).

Report the final values of blood glucose and insulin concentrations that appear at the end of

your simulations.

Assuming that both glucose and insulin concentrations have settled into a steady state, these

final values can now be used as the initial values in the respective integrators for subsequent

simulations of a type-1 diabetic subject. Save this Simulink model as "glucose_D1.slx".
