Bifurcation analysis in a delay model of IVGTT glucose-insulin interaction.

In this paper, a delayed differential model based on the intravenous glucose tolerance test is considered. The conditions to determine stability or instability of the model's steady state are obtained. We obtain the necessary conditions for the appearance of a bifurcation, and we investigate the direction and stability of the local bifurcation. For this purpose, the normal form theory is used. In addition, the numerical diagrams in the direction of theoretical results are drawn.
