Control of blood glucose level for type 1 diabetes mellitus using improved Hovorka equations: Comparison between clinical and in-silico works
Author(s): Nur Amanina Mohd S, Ayub Md S*, Noor Shafina M, Nur Farhana M, Sherif Abdulbari A and Noor Dyanna Andres P Background: Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) occurs due to inability of the body to produce sufficient amount of insulin to regulate blood glucose level (BGL) at normoglycemic range between 4.0 to 7.0 mmol/L. Thus, T1DM patients require doing self-monitoring blood glucose (SMBG) via finger pricks and depending on exogenous insulin injection to maintain their BGL which is very painful and exasperating. Ongoing works on artificial pancreas device nowadays focus primarily on a computer algorithm which is programmed into the controller device. This study aims to simulate so-called improved equations from the Hovorka model using actual patients’ data through in-silico works and compare its findings with the clinical works. Methods: The study mainly focuses on computer simulation in MATLAB using improved Hovorka equations in order to control .. Read More» DOI: 10.54931/2053-4787.29-1-1
