Abstract: A mathematical study of a population of diabetes mellitus patients is carried out in this paper. Two matrix models are proposed to monitor the number of patients developing complications according to an age structure. Application is made to simulate and forecast the number of diabetics with complications in each age class. The cost of treating complications is estimated.
