Adaptive tuning of basal and bolus insulin to reduce postprandial hypoglycemia in a hybrid artificial pancreas

We introduce an adaptive learning algorithm to better adjust postprandial basal and pre-meal bolus insulin for reducing postprandial hypoglycemia in a hybrid artificial pancreas (AP). An AP uses a control algorithm and sensed glucose to automate the delivery of insulin to people with type 1 diabetes (T1D). A hybrid AP requires the person to dose insulin in advance of a meal. Insulin sensitivity is dynamic in people with T1D, making it...
