Abstract
In this paper, a model based on a system of delay differential equations, describing a process of glucose-insulin regulation in the human body, is studied numerically. For simplicity, the system is based on a single delay due to the practical importance of one of the two delays appearing in more complex models. The stability of the system is investigated numerically. The regions, where the solutions demonstrate periodicity and asymptotic stability, are explicitly calculated. The sensitivity of the solutions to the parameters of the model, which describes the insulin production in the system, is analysed.
