Summary:This article discusses closed-loop blood glucose regulation
algorithms that use the intravenous route for insulin delivery to
insulin-dependent diabetic patients. Classical control methods and
advanced algorithms using implicit knowledge or explicit models
(empirical, fundamental, or “gray-box”) of the diabetic
patient are examined. Current research on characterizing patient
variability is presented, in the context of a model predictive
controller able to adjust to changes in patient glucose and insulin
sensitivity
