Question

4. You have just developed a new glucose sensor for people to monitor their blood sugar and test for diabetes. The definitions of "normal", "impaired glucose tolerance" (also called prediabetes) and "diabetic" depend not only on the blood sugar reading, but how soon it was taken after a meal, as given in the table below. (Note, do not use this table to make a medical diagnosis) Fasting After Eating 2-3 hours after Eating 80-100 170-200 120-140 101-125 201-230 140-200 Glucose level (mg/dL) Normal Impaired Glucose Tolerance, or "prediabetes" Diabetic 126+ 231+ 201+ Write a program that will take as input the glucose level and time after eating, and tell the user whether their blood sugar levels indicate Normal, Prediabetic, or Diabetic values

Explanation / Answer

Matlab code:

glc = input('Enter the glucose level: ');

disp('The time after eating: ');

disp('1. Fasting');

disp('2. After eating');

disp('3. 2-3 hours after eating');

opt = input('Enter 1,2 or 3 for the above options: ');

if(opt == 1)

if glc >= 80 && glc <= 100

disp('Normal');

elseif glc >= 101 && glc <= 125

disp('Impaired glucose tolerance');

elseif glc >= 126

disp('Diabetic');

else

disp('Wrong input !!!!');

end

elseif (opt == 2)

if glc >= 170 && glc <= 200

disp('Normal');

elseif glc >= 201 && glc <= 230

disp('Impaired glucose tolerance');

elseif glc >= 231

disp('Diabetic');

else

disp('Wrong input !!!!');

end

elseif (opt == 3)

if glc >= 120 && glc <= 140

disp('Normal');

elseif glc >= 141 && glc <= 200

disp('Impaired glucose tolerance');

elseif glc >= 201

disp('Diabetic');

else

disp('Wrong input !!!!');

end

else

disp('Wrong input !!!');

end
