Linear Relationship Between Carbohydrates & Sugar Intake Amount and Incremental PPG Amount via Engineering Strength of Materials using GHMethod: Math-Physical Medicine, Part 1 (No. 346)

Abstract

Gerald C. Hsu

This article is a special research on the linear elasticity behavior of glucose using his defined GH-modulus (or M2) to link the input of carbs/sugar intake amount and output of incremental PPG amount. Here is the formula he used in his previously published papers: Predicted PPG= (FPG* 0.97) + (carbs/sugar grams * M2) - (post-meal waking K-steps * 5) He has connected this biomedical equation with a basic concept of stress and strain, along with the Young’s modulus of strength of materials in structural and mechanical engineering. Using his collected 11,580 data of glucose, food, and exercise, he has demonstrated that a “pseudo-linear” relationship indeed existing between the carbs/sugar intake amount multiplied with a “GH modulus (i.e. M2)”, which is similar to the “stress” on an engineering system; and the incremental PPG amount, which is similar to the “strain” of an engineering system. A newly defined coefficient of “GH-modulus” as the value of M2 multiplier is similar to the Young’s modules of stress-strain relationship in the subject of engineering strength of materials.
