Abstract
An overview of some mathematical models describing the rheological behavior of blood is done. Several known models were used to describe the non-Newtonian rheological properties of blood. The parameters of two of the simplest models — the power law and the Herschel–Bulkley law were used to analyze the differences between the microrheological and micromechanical characteristics of blood in a group of patients with diabetes mellitus type 2 (T2DM) and in healthy subjects. The experiments were carried out with Low Shear 30 (LS 30) Contraves viscometer in a wide range of shear rates. All experimental data were statistically processed using the Mann–Whitney U-test for intergroup comparison of independent variables, as well as the t-test. The Statistica program was used for statistical processing. The results obtained are compared with the hemorheological models from other disease states.
