Abstract: | We propose a model based bolus calculator which,
based on an identified model, information on the carbohydrate
content of the meals and an initial single glucose measurement,
computes the optimal insulin bolus dose in order to minimize
the blood glucose deviations. We use a simulation model for
identification of models for control and closed-loop simulations.
The performance of the proposed bolus calculator is compared
with a model predictive control approach which uses continuous
glucose information and insulin injection. Both methods achieve
comparable performance for some patients while the insulin
amount, number of injections and computational complexity is
significantly reduced for the bolus calculator.
