(a) Two-compartment model describing the blood glucose to interstitial glucose (BG-to-IG) kinetics. $R_{a}$ is the rate of appearance; $k_{01}, k_{02}, k_{12}, k_{21}$ are rate constants. The time constant of the BG-to-IG system is $τ = \frac{1}{k_{02} + k_{12}}$ . (b) Representative blood glucose (BG) (dashed line) and interstitial glucose (IG) (continuous line) concentration profiles simulated as described in the text assuming τ = 11 min.
