摘要:AbstractMany studies have reported that a high number of missed meal boluses occur, especially in adolescents, during insulin pump therapy. It is predicted that this behavior will carry on to artificial pancreas therapy, where a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) and an insulin pump are used by a control algorithm to regulate blood glucose (BG) levels in those with type 1 diabetes (T1D). This study utilizes a novel approach to meal detection using a sliding window and computing the normalized cross-covariance between measured glucose, BG(k) and a disturbance term, D(k), estimated from an augmented minimal model using an Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF). This meal detection algorithm is tested in silico in two scenarios: 1) without exercise and 2) with one meal occurring during exercise daily. This experiment was done to see the effect of stacked physiological responses incurred by meals and exercise.
