Diabetes is a serious disease that affects many people. The military medical
system is one of the largest medical systems in the world, and treats a significant
number of dependent diabetics. As with most sections of the military, the medical
community is understaffed. This results in most facilities lacking adequate medical
care for these patients. The key to the treatment of diabetes is control of blood
glucose levels and the contributing factors, such as food and exercise. By controlling
these factors large fluctuations in the glucose levels can be minimized. A decision
support system that enables both the medical personnel and the patient to manage these
factors could vastly improve treatment and mitigate the side effects of diabetes. This
paper will address how such an approach can be applied to diabetes resulting in better
medical care and decrease the demand on a stressed medical system.
