Type I diabetes mellitus (TIDM) is a metabolic disease characterized by the body’s inability to produce insulin for the regulation of blood glucose levels (glycemia). Consequently, exogenous insulin infusion is required to maintain blood glucose concentration within an acceptable range. But with the availability of small continuous glucose sensors and insulin infusion pumps that can be worn by an individual during normal daily activities, automated glucose control for T1DM has become feasible. However, this control problem is very challenging due to the variations in daily life that affect glucose concentration (e.g., meals, exercise, and stress) and potential instrumentation problems with the glucose sensor and insulin pump.
This seminar will describe recent results from joint glucose control projects between UCSB and the Sansum Diabetes Research Institute in Santa Barbara. The research has involved the development and experimental evaluation of a variety of techniques for process identification, feedback-feedforward control and process monitoring.
