The dominant paradigm for modeling the obesity-induced T2DM (type 2 diabetes mellitus) today focuses on glucose and insulin regulatory systems, diabetes pathways, and diagnostic test evaluations. The problem with this approach is that it is not possible to explicitly account for the glucose transport mechanism from the blood to the liver, where the glucose is stored, and from the liver to the blood. This makes it inaccurate, if not incorrect, to properly model the concentration of glucose in the blood in comparison to actual glycated hemoglobin (A1C) test results. In this paper, we develop a mathematical model of glucose dynamics by a system of ODEs. The model includes the mechanism of glucose transport from the blood to the liver, and from the liver to the blood, and explains how obesity is likely to lead to T2DM. We use the model to evaluate the efficacy of an anti-T2DM drug that also reduces weight.
