e. Given her recent diagnosis, Julia finds it difficult to administer an appropriate amount of insulin. Before every meal, Julia carries out the following procedure. 1. Measures her blood glucose level 2. Estimates the mass of glucose in her meal 3. Injects the quantity of insulin required to metabolise the amount of glucose in her meal. She then measures her blood glucose level again two hours after her meal. Julia records all this information on an app on her smartphone. The chart below was obtained from the app on her smartphone after 24 hours. ii.
