A person has a fasting blood glucose of 5 mmol/L and a basal insulin concentration of 5 µU/mL. After eating 30 g of glucose, the blood glucose rises proportionally (50 g glucose raises it by 2 mmol/L) and insulin rises proportionally (50 g glucose raises insulin to 15 µU/mL). Insulin lowers blood glucose at a rate of 0.04 mmol/L per µU/mL per hour. Two hours later the person eats another 20 g of glucose and the same proportional responses occur. Assuming insulin returns to the basal level after each 2‑hour interval, what is the blood glucose concentration after a total of 4 hours?
