Abstract :
This medical expert system is applied to the diagnosis, treatment, and teaching of diabetes. It adopts a forward, backward and forward-backward chaining inference mechanism and an uncertainty handling method which can quickly and efficiently, based on the patient´s symptoms, judge the possibility of illness, its severity, and its potential complications. Based upon this assessment the system gives prescriptions for treatment and makes useful suggestions. The system can also be used in teaching practice
