| abstract |
A system is provided that enables glycemic control for a subject. The system includes an insulin delivery unit, a glucose sensor, and a control unit. The control unit includes a processor unit that receives glucose value readings from the glucose sensor, executes an algorithm that predicts a glucose value at a predetermined time in the future, compares that predicted glucose value to a pre-determined glucose value range, and determines a corrective amount of insulin to be administered when the predictive glucose value lies outside of the predetermined glucose value range. The control unit also includes a communication unit that transmits the corrective amount to the delivery unit. |
