Applications of simulation models

The table below is based on a systematic review: Hua X. Lung TWC, Palmer A, Si L., Herman WH, Clarke P. How consistent is the relationship between improved glucose control and modelled health outcomes for people with type 2 diabetes? A systematic review, March 2017, Volume 35, Issue 3, pp 319–329

 

The list reports studies involving interventions that had an impact on blood glucose for people with Type 2 diabetes. The review was completed on 1 June 2015. We would be  interested in receiving information about additional health economic applications of diabetes simulation models.
