Abstract
A system of two nonlinear difference-differential equations which is a mathematical model of self-regulation of glucose level in blood with time delay into consideration of insulin “age structure” is presented. The analysis carried out by qualitative and numerical methods allows us to conclude, that the mathematical model explains the functioning of the physiological system “insulin-blood glucose” in normal and pathological cases.
