  In the Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT), a patient, after an overnight fast
ingests a load of glucose. Then measurements of glucose concentration are taken
every 30 minutes during two hours. The test is used to aid diagnosis of
diabetes, namely, type 2 diabetes mellitus and glucose intolerance. Several
mathematical models have been introduced to describe the glucose-insulin system
during an OGTT. Models consist on systems of differential equations where most
parameters are unknown. Estimation of these parameters is an aim of this work.
In a minimal model, two of such parameters are proposed for classification by
means of a SVM technique. Consequently, a case is made for this classification
as an aid for diagnosis.
