Abstract

This study presents a metabolic modeling scheme for glucose prediction of diabetic patients that is intended for use in mobile devices. We investigate the ability to model the multivariate, nonlinear and dynamic interactions in glucose metabolism using free-living data acquired from wearable sensors or inserted through suitable mobile applications. The physiological processes related to diabetes are simulated by compartmental models, which quantify the absorption of subcutaneously administered insulin, the absorption of glucose from the gut following a meal, as well as the effects of exercise on plasma glucose and insulin dynamics. In addition, Support Vector machines for Regression are employed to provide individualized predictions of the subcutaneous glucose concentrations. The proposed scheme is evaluated in terms of its predictive ability using real data recorded from two type 1 diabetic patients. Also, the incorporation of the predictive model in an integrated diabetes monitoring and management system is discussed.
