Arguably, a minimally invasive system using subcutaneous (s.c.) continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) and s.c. insulin delivery via pump would be most feasible step to closed-loop control in type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). Consequently, technology is focusing on developing an artificial pancreas algorithms link CGM with delivery. The future development of the will greatly accelerated by employing mathematical modeling computer simulation. Realistic simulation capable providing invaluable...
Recent studies have provided new insights into nonlinearities of insulin action in the hypoglycemic range and glucagon kinetics as it relates to response hypoglycemia. Based on these data, we developed a version UVA/PADOVA Type 1 Diabetes Simulator, which was submitted FDA 2013 (S2013). The model glucose hypoglycemia has been improved, implementing notion that insulin-dependent utilization increases nonlinearly when decreases below certain threshold. In addition, secretion models...
A closed-loop system of insulin delivery (also called an artificial pancreas) may improve glycemic outcomes in children with type 1 diabetes.
Integrated closed-loop control (CLC), combining continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) with insulin pump (continuous subcutaneous infusion [CSII]), known as artificial pancreas, can help optimize glycemic in diabetes. We present a fundamental modular concept for CLC design, illustrated by clinical studies involving 11 adolescents and 27 adults at the Universities of Virginia, Padova, Montpellier. tested two constructs: standard to range (sCTR), designed augment plus CGM preventing extreme...

Thus, time-varying distributions subject’s basal infusion insulin-to-carbohydrate ratio were...
The level of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) accuracy needed for insulin dosing using sensor values (i.e., the permitting non-adjunct CGM use) is a topic ongoing debate. Assessment this in clinical experiments virtually impossible because magnitude errors cannot be manipulated and related prospectively to outcomes.A combination archival data (parallel CGM, pump, self-monitoring blood [SMBG] records, meals 56 pump users with type 1 diabetes) silico was used "replay" real-life treatment...

Background: Continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) collect detailed blood (BG) time series, which carry significant information about the dynamics of BG fluctuations. In contrast, methods for analysis CGM data remain those developed infrequent self-monitoring. As a result, important temporal structure is lost during translation raw sensor readings into clinically interpretable statistics and images.
