Continuous glucose monitoring as an objective measure of meal consumption in individuals with binge-spectrum eating disorders: A proof-of-concept study.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Going extended periods of time without eating increases risk for binge eating and is a primary target of leading interventions for binge-spectrum eating disorders (B-EDs). However, existing treatments for B-EDs yield insufficient improvements in regular eating and subsequently, binge eating. These unsatisfactory clinical outcomes may result from limitations in assessment and promotion of regular eating in therapy. Detecting the absence of eating using passive sensing may improve clinical outcomes by facilitating more accurate monitoring of eating behaviours and powering just-in-time adaptive interventions. We developed an algorithm for detecting meal consumption (and extended periods without eating) using continuous glucose monitor (CGM) data and machine learning. METHOD Adults with B-EDs (N = 22) wore CGMs and reported eating episodes on self-monitoring surveys for 2 weeks. Random forest models were run on CGM data to distinguish between eating and non-eating episodes. RESULTS The optimal model distinguished eating and non-eating episodes with high accuracy (0.82), sensitivity (0.71), and specificity (0.94). CONCLUSIONS These findings suggest that meal consumption and extended periods without eating can be detected from CGM data with high accuracy among individuals with B-EDs, which may improve clinical efforts to target dietary restriction and improve the field's understanding of its antecedents and consequences.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hybrid automated insulin delivery systems enhance postprandial glucose control in type 1 diabetes, however, meal announcements are burdensome. To overcome this, we propose a machine learning-based automated meal detection approach; METHODS:: A heterogeneous ensemble method combining an artificial neural network, random forest, and logistic regression was employed. Trained and tested on data from two in-silico cohorts comprising 20 and 47 patients. It accounted for various meal sizes (moderate to high) and glucose appearance rates (slow and rapid absorbing). To produce an optimal prediction model, three ensemble configurations were used: logical AND, majority voting, and logical OR. In addition to the in-silico data, the proposed meal detector was also trained and tested using the OhioT1DM dataset. Finally, the meal detector is combined with a bolus insulin compensation scheme; RESULTS:: The ensemble majority voting obtained the best meal detector results for both the in-silico and OhioT1DM cohorts with a sensitivity of 77%, 94%, 61%, precision of 96%, 89%, 72%, F1-score of 85%, 91%, 66%, and with false positives per day values of 0.05, 0.19, 0.17, respectively. Automatic meal detection with insulin compensation has been performed in open-loop insulin therapy using the AND ensemble, chosen for its lower false positive rate. Time-in-range has significantly increased 10.48% and 16.03%, time above range was reduced by 5.16% and 11.85%, with a minimal time below range increase of 0.35% and 2.69% for both in-silico cohorts, respectively, compared to the results without a meal detector; CONCLUSION:: To increase the overall accuracy and robustness of the predictions, this ensemble methodology aims to take advantage of each base model's strengths. All of the results point to the potential application of the proposed meal detector as a separate module for the detection of meals in automated insulin delivery systems to achieve improved glycemic control.

Objective Determination of Eating Occasion Timing: Combining Self-Report, Wrist Motion, and Continuous Glucose Monitoring to Detect Eating Occasions in Adults With Prediabetes and Obesity. J Diabetes Sci Technol 2024; 18:266-272.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Accurately identifying eating patterns, specifically the timing, frequency, and distribution of eating occasions (EOs), is important for assessing eating behaviors, especially for preventing and managing obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D). However, existing methods to study EOs rely on self-report, which may be prone to misreporting and bias and has a high user burden. Therefore, objective methods are needed. METHODS We aim to compare EO timing using objective and subjective methods. Participants self-reported EO with a smartphone app (self-report [SR]), wore the ActiGraph GT9X on their dominant wrist, and wore a continuous glucose monitor (CGM, Abbott Libre Pro) for 10 days. EOs were detected from wrist motion (WM) using a motion-based classifier and from CGM using a simulation-based system. We described EO timing and explored how timing identified with WM and CGM compares with SR. RESULTS Participants (n = 39) were 59 ± 11 years old, mostly female (62%) and White (51%) with a body mass index (BMI) of 34.2 ± 4.7 kg/m2. All had prediabetes or moderately controlled T2D. The median time-of-day first EO (and interquartile range) for SR, WM, and CGM were 08:24 (07:00-09:59), 9:42 (07:46-12:26), and 06:55 (04:23-10:03), respectively. The median last EO for SR, WM, and CGM were 20:20 (16:50-21:42), 20:12 (18:30-21:41), and 21:43 (20:35-22:16), respectively. The overlap between SR and CGM was 55% to 80% of EO detected with tolerance periods of ±30, 60, and 120 minutes. The overlap between SR and WM was 52% to 65% EO detected with tolerance periods of ±30, 60, and 120 minutes. CONCLUSION The continuous glucose monitor and WM detected overlapping but not identical meals and may provide complementary information to self-reported EO.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Artificial intelligence and machine learning are transforming many fields including medicine. In diabetes, robust biosensing technologies and automated insulin delivery therapies have created a substantial opportunity to improve health. While the number of manuscripts addressing the topic of applying machine learning to diabetes has grown in recent years, there has been a lack of consistency in the methods, metrics, and data used to train and evaluate these algorithms. This manuscript provides consensus guidelines for machine learning practitioners in the field of diabetes, including best practice recommended approaches and warnings about pitfalls to avoid. METHODS Algorithmic approaches are reviewed and benefits of different algorithms are discussed including importance of clinical accuracy, explainability, interpretability, and personalization. We review the most common features used in machine learning applications in diabetes glucose control and provide an open-source library of functions for calculating features, as well as a framework for specifying data sets using data sheets. A review of current data sets available for training algorithms is provided as well as an online repository of data sources. SIGNIFICANCE These consensus guidelines are designed to improve performance and translatability of new machine learning algorithms developed in the field of diabetes for engineers and data scientists.

Abstract
Background Accurate dietary assessment remains a challenge, particularly in free-living settings. Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) shows promise in optimizing the assessment and monitoring of ingestive activity (IA, i.e., consumption of calorie-containing foods/beverages), and it might enable administering dietary Just-In-Time Adaptive Interventions (JITAIs). Objective In a scoping review, we aimed to answer the following questions: (1) Which CGM approaches to automatically detect IA in (near-)real-time have been investigated? (2) How accurate are these approaches? (3) Can they be used in the context of JITAIs? Methods We systematically searched four databases until October 2023 and included publications in English or German that used CGM-based approaches for human (all ages) IA detection. Eligible publications included a ground-truth method as a comparator. We synthesized the evidence qualitatively and critically appraised publication quality. Results Of 1,561 potentially relevant publications identified, 19 publications (17 studies, total N = 311; for 2 studies, 2 publications each were relevant) were included. Most publications included individuals with diabetes, often using meal announcements and/or insulin boluses accompanying meals. Inpatient and free-living settings were used. CGM-only approaches and CGM combined with additional inputs were deployed. A broad range of algorithms was tested. Performance varied among the reviewed methods, ranging from unsatisfactory to excellent (e.g., 21% vs. 100% sensitivity). Detection times ranged from 9.0 to 45.0 min. Conclusion Several CGM-based approaches are promising for automatically detecting IA. However, response times need to be faster to enable JITAIs aimed at impacting acute IA. Methodological issues and overall heterogeneity among articles prevent recommending one single approach; specific cases will dictate the most suitable approach.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Predicting carbohydrate intake and physical activity in people with diabetes is crucial for improving blood glucose concentration regulation. Patterns of individual behavior can be detected from historical free-living data to predict meal and exercise times. Data collected in free-living may have missing values and forgotten manual entries. While machine learning (ML) can capture meal and exercise times, missing values, noise, and errors in data can reduce the accuracy of ML algorithms. METHODS Two recurrent neural networks (RNNs) are developed with original and imputed data sets to assess detection accuracy of meal and exercise events. Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) data, insulin infused from pump data, and manual meal and exercise entries from free-living data are used to predict meals, exercise, and their concurrent occurrence. They contain missing values of various lengths in time, noise, and outliers. RESULTS The accuracy of RNN models range from 89.9% to 95.7% for identifying the state of event (meal, exercise, both, or neither) for various users. "No meal or exercise" state is determined with 94.58% accuracy by using the best RNN (long short-term memory [LSTM] with 1D Convolution). Detection accuracy with this RNN is 98.05% for meals, 93.42% for exercise, and 55.56% for concurrent meal-exercise events. CONCLUSIONS The meal and exercise times detected by the RNN models can be used to warn people for entering meal and exercise information to hybrid closed-loop automated insulin delivery systems. Reliable accuracy for event detection necessitates powerful ML and large data sets. The use of additional sensors and algorithms for detecting these events and their characteristics provides a more accurate alternative.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hybrid closed-loop control of glucose levels in people with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D) is limited by the requirements on users to manually announce physical activity (PA) and meals to the artificial pancreas system. Multivariable automated insulin delivery (mvAID) systems that can handle unannounced PAs and meals without any manual announcements by the user can improve glycemic control by modulating insulin dosing in response to the occurrence and intensity of spontaneous physical activities. METHODS An mvAID system is developed to supplement the glucose measurements with additional physiological signals from a wristband device, with the signals analyzed using artificial intelligence algorithms to automatically detect the occurrence of PA and estimate its intensity. This additional information gained from the physiological signals enables more proactive insulin dosing adjustments in response to both planned exercise and spontaneous unanticipated physical activities. RESULTS In silico studies of the mvAID illustrate the safety and efficacy of the system. The mvAID is translated to pilot clinical studies to assess its performance, and the clinical experiments demonstrate an increased time in range and reduced risk of hypoglycemia following unannounced PA and meals. CONCLUSIONS The mvAID systems can increase the safety and efficacy of insulin delivery in the presence of unannounced physical activities and meals, leading to improved lives and less burden on people with T1D.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Complete identification of the glucose dynamics for a patient generally requires prior clinical procedures and several measurements for the patient. However, these steps may not be always feasible. To address this limitation, we propose a practical approach integrating learning-based model predictive control (MPC), adaptive basal and bolus injections, and suspension with minimal requirements of prior knowledge of the patient. METHODS The glucose dynamic system matrices were periodically updated using only input values, without any pretrained models. The optimal insulin dose was calculated based on a learning-based MPC algorithm. Meal detection and estimation modules were also introduced. The basal and bolus insulin injections were fine-tuned using the performance of glucose control from the previous day. To validate the proposed method, evaluations with 20 virtual patients from a type 1 diabetes metabolic simulator were employed. RESULTS Time-in-range (TIR) and time-below-range (TBR) were 90.8% (84.1% - 95.6%) and 0.3% (0% - 0.8%), as represented by the median, first (Q1), and third quartiles (Q3), respectively, when meal intakes were fully announced. When one out of three meal intake announcements was missing, TIR and TBR were 85.2% (75.0% - 88.9%) and 0.9% (0.4% - 1.1%), respectively. CONCLUSIONS The proposed approach obviates the need for prior tests from patients and shows effective regulation of blood glucose levels. From the perspective of practical implementation in clinical environments, to deal with minimal prior information of the patient, our study demonstrates how essential clinical knowledge and learning-based modules can be integrated into a control framework for an artificial pancreas.

Abstract
Research in the treatment of type 1 diabetes has been addressed into two main areas: the development of "intelligent insulins" capable of auto-regulating their own levels according to glucose concentrations, or the exploitation of artificial intelligence (AI) and its learning capacity, to provide decision support systems to improve automated insulin therapy. This review aims to provide a synthetic overview of the current state of these two research areas, providing an outline of the latest development in the search for "intelligent insulins," and the results of new and promising advances in the use of artificial intelligence to regulate automated insulin infusion and glucose control. The future of insulin treatment in type 1 diabetes appears promising with AI, with research nearly reaching the possibility of finally having a "closed-loop" artificial pancreas.

Abstract
Objective digital data is scarce yet needed in many domains to enable research that can transform the standard of healthcare. While data from consumer-grade wearables and smartphones is more accessible, there is critical need for similar data from clinical-grade devices used by patients with a diagnosed condition. The prevalence of wearable medical devices in the diabetes domain sets the stage for unique research and development within this field and beyond. However, the scarcity of open-source datasets presents a major barrier to progress. To facilitate broader research on diabetes-relevant problems and accelerate development of robust computational solutions, we provide the DiaTrend dataset. The DiaTrend dataset is composed of intensive longitudinal data from wearable medical devices, including a total of 27,561 days of continuous glucose monitor data and 8,220 days of insulin pump data from 54 patients with diabetes. This dataset is useful for developing novel analytic solutions that can reduce the disease burden for people living with diabetes and increase knowledge on chronic condition management in outpatient settings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Hybrid automated insulin delivery systems rely on carbohydrate counting to improve postprandial control in type 1 diabetes. However, this is an extra burden on subjects, and it introduces a source of potential errors that could impact control performances. In fact, carbohydrates estimation is challenging, prone to errors, and it is known that subjects sometimes struggle to adhere to this requirement, forgetting to perform this task. A possible solution is the use of automated meal detection algorithms. In this work, we extended a super-twisting-based meal detector suggested in the literature and assessed it on real-life data. METHODS To reduce the false detections in the original meal detector, we implemented an implicit discretization of the super-twisting and replaced the Euler approximation of the glucose derivative with a Kalman filter. The modified meal detector is retrospectively evaluated in a challenging real-life dataset corresponding to a 2-week trial with 30 subjects using sensor-augmented pump control. The assessment includes an analysis of the nature and riskiness of false detections. RESULTS The proposed algorithm achieved a recall of 70 [13] % (median [interquartile range]), a precision of 73 [26] %, and had 1.4 [1.4] false positives-per-day. False positives were related to rising glucose conditions, whereas false negatives occurred after calibrations, missing samples, or hypoglycemia treatments. CONCLUSIONS The proposed algorithm achieves encouraging performance. Although false positives and false negatives were not avoided, they are related to situations with a low risk of hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia, respectively.

Abstract
Objective: The interpretation of time series data collected in free-living has gained importance in chronic disease management. Some data are collected objectively from sensors and some are estimated and entered by the individual. In type 1 diabetes (T1D), blood glucose concentration (BGC) data measured by continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems and insulin doses administered can be used to detect the occurrences of meals and physical activities and generate the personal daily living patterns for use in automated insulin delivery (AID). Methods: Two challenges in time-series data collected in daily living are addressed: data quality improvement and the detection of unannounced disturbances of BGC. CGM data have missing values for varying periods of time and outliers. People may neglect reporting their meal and physical activity information. In this work, novel methods for preprocessing real-world data collected from people with T1D and the detection of meal and exercise events are presented. Four recurrent neural network (RNN) models are investigated to detect the occurrences of meals and physical activities disjointly or concurrently. Results: RNNs with long short-term memory (LSTM) with 1D convolution layers and bidirectional LSTM with 1D convolution layers have average accuracy scores of 92.32% and 92.29%, and outperform other RNN models. The F1 scores for each individual range from 96.06% to 91.41% for these two RNNs. Conclusions: RNNs with LSTM and 1D convolution layers and bidirectional LSTM with 1D convolution layers provide accurate personalized information about the daily routines of individuals. Significance: Capturing daily behavior patterns enables more accurate future BGC predictions in AID systems and improves BGC regulation.

Abstract
Background For adolescents living with type 1 diabetes (T1D), completion of multiple daily self-management tasks, such as monitoring blood glucose and administering insulin, can be challenging because of psychosocial and contextual barriers. These barriers are hard to assess accurately and specifically by using traditional retrospective recall. Ecological momentary assessment (EMA) uses mobile technologies to assess the contexts, subjective experiences, and psychosocial processes that surround self-management decision-making in daily life. However, the rich data generated via EMA have not been frequently examined in T1D or integrated with machine learning analytic approaches. Objective The goal of this study is to develop a machine learning algorithm to predict the risk of missed self-management in young adults with T1D. To achieve this goal, we train and compare a number of machine learning models through a learned filtering architecture to explore the extent to which EMA data were associated with the completion of two self-management behaviors: mealtime self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) and insulin administration. Methods We analyzed data from a randomized controlled pilot study using machine learning–based filtering architecture to investigate whether novel information related to contextual, psychosocial, and time-related factors (ie, time of day) relate to self-management. We combined EMA-collected contextual and insulin variables via the MyDay mobile app with Bluetooth blood glucose data to construct machine learning classifiers that predicted the 2 self-management behaviors of interest. Results With 1231 day-level SMBG frequency counts for 45 participants, demographic variables and time-related variables were able to predict whether daily SMBG was below the clinical threshold of 4 times a day. Using the 1869 data points derived from app-based EMA data of 31 participants, our learned filtering architecture method was able to infer nonadherence events with high accuracy and precision. Although the recall score is low, there is high confidence that the nonadherence events identified by the model are truly nonadherent. Conclusions Combining EMA data with machine learning methods showed promise in the relationship with risk for nonadherence. The next steps include collecting larger data sets that would more effectively power a classifier that can be deployed to infer individual behavior. Improvements in individual self-management insights, behavioral risk predictions, enhanced clinical decision-making, and just-in-time patient support in diabetes could result from this type of approach.

Abstract
Current artificial pancreas (AP) systems are hybrid closed-loop systems that require manual meal announcements to manage postprandial glucose control effectively. This poses a cognitive burden and challenge to users with T1D since this relies on frequent user engagement to maintain tight glucose control. In order to move towards fully automated closed-loop glucose control, we propose an algorithm based on a deep learning framework that performs multitask quantile regression, for both meal detection and carbohydrate estimation. Our proposed method is evaluated in silico on 10 adult subjects from the UVa/Padova simulator with a Bio-inspired Artificial Pancreas (BiAP) control algorithm over a 2 month period. Three different configurations of the AP are evaluated -BiAP without meal announcement (BiAP-NMA), BiAP with meal announcement (BiAP-MA), and BiAP with meal detection (BiAP-MD). We present results showing an improvement of BiAP-MD over BiAP-NMA, demonstrating 144.5 ± 6.8 mg/dL mean blood glucose level (-4.4 mg/dL, p< 0.01) and 77.8 ± 6.3% mean time between 70 and 180 mg/dL (+3.9%, p< 0.001). This improvement in control is realised without a significant increase in mean in hypoglycaemia (+0.1%, p= 0.4). In terms of detection of meals and snacks, the proposed method on average achieves 93% precision and 76% recall with a detection delay time of 38 ± 15 min (92% precision, 92% recall, and 37 min detection time for meals only). Furthermore, BiAP-MD handles hypoglycaemia better than BiAP-MA based on CVGA assessment with fewer control errors (10% vs. 20%). This study suggests that multitask quantile regression can improve the capability of AP systems for postprandial glucose control without increasing hypoglycaemia.

Abstract
Closed-loop (artificial pancreas) systems for automated insulin delivery have been likened to the holy grail of diabetes management. The first iterations of glucose-responsive insulin delivery were pioneered in the 1960s and 1970s, with the development of systems that used venous glucose measurements to dictate intravenous infusions of insulin and dextrose in order to maintain normoglycemia. Only recently have these bulky, bedside technologies progressed to miniaturized, wearable devices. These modern closed-loop systems use interstitial glucose sensing, subcutaneous insulin pumps, and increasingly sophisticated algorithms. As the number of commercially available hybrid closed-loop systems has grown, so too has the evidence supporting their efficacy. Future challenges in closed-loop technology include the development of fully closed-loop systems that do not require user input for meal announcements or carbohydrate counting. Another evolving avenue in research is the addition of glucagon to mitigate the risk of hypoglycemia and allow more aggressive insulin dosing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Artificial pancreas (AP) systems reduce the treatment burden of Type 1 Diabetes by automatically regulating blood glucose (BG) levels. While many disturbances stand in the way of fully closed-loop (automated) control, unannounced meals remain the greatest challenge. Furthermore, different types of meals can have significantly different glucose responses, further increasing the uncertainty surrounding the meal. METHODS Effective attenuation of a meal requires quick and accurate insulin delivery because of slow insulin action relative to meal effects on BG. The proposed Variable Hump (VH) model adapts to meals of varying compositions by inferring both meal size and shape. To appropriately address the uncertainty of meal size, the model divides meal absorption into two disjoint regions: a region with coarse meal size predictions followed by a fine-grain region where predictions are fine-tuned by adapting to the meal shape. RESULTS Using gold-standard triple tracer meal data, the proposed VH model is compared to three simpler second-order response models. The proposed VH model increased model fit capacity by 22% and prediction accuracy by 12% relative to the next best models. A 47% increase in the accuracy of uncertainty predictions was also found. In a simple control scenario, the controller governed by the proposed VH model provided insulin just as fast or faster than the controller governed by the other models in four out of the six meals. While the controllers governed by the other models all delivered at least a 25% excess of insulin at their worst, the VH model controller only delivered 9% excess at its worst. CONCLUSIONS The VH Model performed best in accuracy metrics and succeeded over the other models in providing insulin quickly and accurately in a simple implementation. Use in an AP system may improve prediction accuracy and lead to better control around mealtimes.

Abstract
Diet monitoring is an essential intervention component for a number of diseases, from type 2 diabetes to cardiovascular diseases. However, current methods for diet monitoring are burdensome and often inaccurate. In prior work, we showed that continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) may be used to predict the macronutrients in a meal (e.g., carbohydrates, protein, and fat) by analyzing the shape of the post-prandial glucose response. The objective of this study was to examine a number of additional dietary biomarkers in blood by their ability to improve the prediction of meal macronutrients, compared to using CGMs alone. As our experimental method, we conducted a nutritional study where (n=10) participants consumed nine different mixed meals with varied but known macronutrient amounts, and we analyzed the concentration of 33 dietary biomarkers (including amino acids and their combinations, insulin, triglycerides, and 3 independent measures of glucose) at various times post-prandially. As our computational method, we built machine learning models to predict the macronutrient amounts from (1) individual biomarkers and (2) their combinations. The major result from this work is that the additional blood biomarkers provide complementary information, and more importantly, achieve higher prediction performance for the three macronutrients in terms of normalized root mean squared error (carbohydrates: 22.9%; protein: 23.4%; fat: 32.3%) than CGMs alone (carbohydrates: 28.2%, p = 0.08; protein: 42.9%, p<0.001; fat: 41.4%, p<0.05}). Our main conclusion is that augmenting CGMs to measure these additional dietary biomarkers improves macronutrient prediction performance, and may ultimately lead to the development of automated methods to monitor monitor nutritional intake. This work is significant to biomedical research as it provides a potential solution to the long-standing problem of diet monitoring, facilitating new interventions for a number of diseases.

Abstract
Artificial intelligence (AI) is widely discussed in the popular literature and is portrayed as impacting many aspects of human life, both in and out of the workplace. The potential for revolutionizing healthcare is significant because of the availability of increasingly powerful computational platforms and methods, along with increasingly informative sources of patient data, both in and out of clinical settings. This review aims to provide a realistic assessment of the potential for AI in understanding and managing diabetes, accounting for the state of the art in the methodology and medical devices that collect data, process data, and act accordingly. Acknowledging that many conflicting definitions of AI have been put forth, this article attempts to characterize the main elements of the field as they relate to diabetes, identifying the main perspectives and methods that can (i) affect basic understanding of the disease, (ii) affect understanding of risk factors (genetic, clinical, and behavioral) of diabetes development, (iii) improve diagnosis, (iv) improve understanding of the arc of disease (progression and personal/societal impact), and finally (v) improve treatment.

Abstract
Automated Insulin Delivery (AID) are systems developed for daily use by people with type 1 diabetes (T1D). To ensure the safety of users, it is essential to consider how the human factor affects the performance and safety of these devices. While there are numerous publications on hardware-related failures of AID systems, there are few studies on the human component of the system. From a control point of view, people with T1D using AID systems are at the same time the plant to be controlled and the plant operator. Therefore, users may induce faults in the controller, sensors, actuators, and the plant itself. Strategies to cope with the human interaction in AID systems are needed for further development of the technology. In this paper, we present an analysis of potential faults introduced by AID users when the system is under normal operation. This is followed by a review of current fault tolerant control (FTC) approaches to identify missing areas of research. The paper concludes with a discussion on future directions for the new generation of FTC AID systems.

Abstract
The use of automated insulin delivery systems has become a reality for people with type 1 diabetes (T1D), with several hybrid systems already on the market. One of the particularities of this technology is that the patient is in the loop. People with T1D are the plant to control and also a plant operator, because they may have to provide information to the control loop. The most immediate information provided by patients that affects performance and safety are the announcement of meals and exercise. Therefore, to ensure safety and performance, the human factor impact needs to be addressed by designing fault monitoring strategies. In this paper, a monitoring system is developed to diagnose potential patient modes and faults. The monitoring system is based on the residual generation of a bank of observers. To that aim, a linear parameter varying (LPV) polytopic representation of the system is adopted and a bank of Kalman filters is designed using linear matrix inequalities (LMI). The system uncertainty is propagated using a zonotopic-set representation, which allows determining confidence bounds for each of the observer outputs and residuals. For the detection of modes, a hybrid automaton model is generated and diagnosis is performed by interpreting the events and transitions within the automaton. The developed system is tested in simulation, showing the potential benefits of using the proposed approach for artificial pancreas systems.

Abstract
The global cost of diabetes care exceeds $1 trillion each year with more than $327 billion being spent in the United States alone. Despite some of the advances in diabetes care including continuous glucose monitoring systems and insulin pumps, the technology associated with managing diabetes has largely remained unchanged over the past several decades. With the rise of wearable electronics and novel functional materials, the field is well-poised for the next generation of closed-loop diabetes care. Wearable glucose sensors implanted within diverse platforms including skin or on-tooth tattoos, skin-mounted patches, eyeglasses, contact lenses, fabrics, mouthguards, and pacifiers have enabled noninvasive, unobtrusive, and real-time analysis of glucose excursions in ambulatory care settings. These wearable glucose sensors can be integrated with implantable drug delivery systems, including an insulin pump, glucose responsive insulin release implant, and islets transplantation, to form self-regulating closed-loop systems. This review article encompasses the emerging trends and latest innovations of wearable glucose monitoring and implantable insulin delivery technologies for diabetes management with a focus on their advanced materials and construction. Perspectives on the current unmet challenges of these strategies are also discussed to motivate future technological development toward improved patient care in diabetes management.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Meals are a major hurdle to glycemic control in type 1 diabetes (T1D). Our objective was to test a fully automated closed-loop control (CLC) system in the absence of announcement of carbohydrate ingestion among adolescents with T1D, who are known to commonly omit meal announcement. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Eighteen adolescents with T1D (age 15.6 ± 1.7 years; HbA1c 7.4 ± 1.5%; 9 females/9 males) participated in a randomized crossover clinical trial comparing our legacy hybrid CLC system (Unified Safety System Virginia [USS]-Virginia) with a novel fully automated CLC system (RocketAP) during two 46-h supervised admissions (each with one announced and one unannounced dinner), following 2 weeks of data collection. Primary outcome was the percentage time-in-range 70-180 mg/dL (TIR) following the unannounced meal, with secondary outcomes related to additional continuous glucose monitoring-based metrics. RESULTS Both TIR and time-in-tight-range 70-140 mg/dL (TTR) were significantly higher using RocketAP than using USS-Virginia during the 6 h following the unannounced meal (83% [interquartile range 64-93] vs. 53% [40-71]; P = 0.004 and 49% [41-59] vs. 27% [22-36]; P = 0.002, respectively), primarily driven by reduced time-above-range (TAR >180 mg/dL: 17% [1.3-34] vs. 47% [28-60]), with no increase in time-below-range (TBR <70 mg/dL: 0% median for both). RocketAP also improved control following the announced meal (mean difference TBR: -0.7%, TIR: +7%, TTR: +6%), overall (TIR: +5%, TAR: -5%, TTR: +8%), and overnight (TIR: +7%, TTR: +19%, TAR: -5%). RocketAP delivered less insulin overall (78 ± 23 units vs. 85 ± 20 units, P = 0.01). CONCLUSIONS A new fully automated CLC system with automatic prandial dosing was proven to be safe and feasible and outperformed our legacy USS-Virginia in an adolescent population with and without meal announcement.

Using Absorption Models for Insulin and Carbohydrates and Deep Leaning to Improve Glucose Level Predictions. SENSORS 2021; 21:s21165273. [PMID: 34450712 PMCID: PMC8398465 DOI: 10.3390/s21165273] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/25/2021] [Revised: 07/28/2021] [Accepted: 07/30/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Diabetes is a chronic disease caused by the inability of the pancreas to produce insulin or problems in the body to use it efficiently. It is one of the fastest growing health challenges affecting more than 400 million people worldwide, according to the World Health Organization. Intensive research is being carried out on artificial intelligence methods to help people with diabetes to optimize the way in which they use insulin, carbohydrate intakes, or physical activity. By predicting upcoming levels of blood glucose concentrations, preventive actions can be taken. Previous research studies using machine learning methods for blood glucose level predictions have mainly focused on the machine learning model used. Little attention has been given to the pre-processing of insulin and carbohydrate signals in order to mimic the human absorption processes. In this manuscript, a recurrent neural network (RNN) based model for predicting upcoming blood glucose levels in people with type 1 diabetes is combined with several carbohydrate and insulin absorption curves in order to optimize the prediction results. The proposed method is applied to data from real patients suffering type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). The achieved results are encouraging, obtaining accuracy levels around 0.510 mmol/L (9.2 mg/dl) in the best scenario.

Abstract
The hybrid closed-loop (HCL) system has been shown to improve glycemic control and reduce hypoglycemia. Optimization of HCL settings requires interpretation of the glucose, insulin, and factors affecting glucose such as food intake and exercise. To the best of our knowledge, there is no published guidance on the standardized reporting of HCL systems. Standardization of HCL reporting would make interpretation of data easy across different systems. We reviewed the literature on patient and provider perspectives on downloading and reporting glucose metric preferences. We also incorporated international consensus on standardized reporting for glucose metrics. We describe a single-page HCL data reporting, referred to here as "artificial pancreas (AP) Dashboard." We propose seven components in the AP Dashboard that can provide detailed information and visualization of glucose, insulin, and HCL-specific metrics. The seven components include (A) glucose metrics, (B) hypoglycemia, (C) insulin, (D) user experience, (E) hyperglycemia, (F) glucose modal-day profile, and (G) insight. A single-page report similar to an electrocardiogram can help providers and patients interpret HCL data easily and take the necessary steps to improve glycemic outcomes. We also describe the optimal sampling duration for HCL data download and color coding for visualization ease. We believe that this is a first step in creating a standardized HCL reporting, which may result in better uptake of the systems. For increased adoption, standardized reporting will require input from providers, patients, diabetes device manufacturers, and regulators.

Abstract
Background Artificial pancreas systems aim to reduce the burden of type 1 diabetes by automating insulin dosing. These systems link a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) and insulin pump with a control algorithm, but require users to announce meals, without which the system can only react to the rise in blood glucose. Objective We investigate whether CGM data can be used to automatically infer meals in daily life even in the presence of physical activity, which can raise or lower blood glucose. Materials and Methods We propose a novel meal detection algorithm that combines simulations with CGM, insulin pump, and heart rate monitor data. When observed and predicted glucose differ, our algorithm uses simulations to test whether a meal may explain this difference. We evaluated our method on simulated data and real-world data from individuals with type 1 diabetes. Results In simulated data, we detected meals earlier and with higher accuracy than was found in prior work (25.7 minutes, 1.2 g error; compared with 48.3 minutes, 17.2 g error). In real-world data, we discovered a larger number of plausible meals than was found in prior work (30 meals, 76.7% accepted; compared with 33 meals, 39.4% accepted). Discussion Prior research attempted meal detection from CGM, but had delays and lower accuracy in real data or did not allow for physical activity. Our approach can be used to improve insulin dosing in an artificial pancreas and trigger reminders for missed meal boluses. Conclusions We demonstrate that meal information can be robustly inferred from CGM and body-worn sensor data, even in challenging environments of daily life.

Abstract
Automated closed-loop (CL) insulin therapy has come of age. This major technological advance is expected to significantly improve the quality of care for adults, adolescents and children with type 1 diabetes. To improve access to this innovation for both patients and healthcare professionals (HCPs), and to promote adherence to its requirements in terms of safety, regulations, ethics and practice, the French Diabetes Society (SFD) brought together a French Working Group of experts to discuss the current practical consensus. The result is the present statement describing the indications for CL therapy with emphasis on the idea that treatment expectations must be clearly defined in advance. Specifications for expert care centres in charge of initiating the treatment were also proposed. Great importance was also attached to the crucial place of high-quality training for patients and healthcare professionals. Long-term follow-up should collect not only metabolic and clinical results, but also indicators related to psychosocial and human factors. Overall, this national consensus statement aims to promote the introduction of marketed CL devices into standard clinical practice.

Abstract
Insulin pumps are commonly used for intensive insulin therapy to treat type 1 diabetes in adults and youth. Insulin pump technologies have advanced dramatically in the last several years to integrate with continuous glucose monitors (CGM) and incorporate control algorithms. These control algorithms automate some insulin delivery in response to the glucose information received from the CGM to reduce the occurrence of hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia and improve overall glycemic control. The t:slim X2 insulin pump system became commercially available in 2016. It is an innovative insulin pump technology that can be updated remotely by the user to install new software onto the pump device as new technologies become available. Currently, the t:slim X2 pairs with the Dexcom G6 CGM and there are two advanced software options available: Basal-IQ, which is a predictive low glucose suspend (PLGS) technology, and Control-IQ, which is a Hybrid Closed Loop (HCL) technology. This paper will describe the different types of advanced insulin pump technologies, review how the t:slim X2 insulin pump works, and summarize the clinical studies leading to FDA approval and commercialization of the Basal-IQ and Control-IQ technologies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE In the last decade, several technological solutions have been proposed as artificial pancreas systems able to treat type 1 diabetes; most often they are built based on a control algorithm that needs to be validated before it is used with real patients. Control algorithms are usually tested with simulation tools that integrate mathematical models related mainly to the glucose-insulin dynamics, but other variables can be considered as well. In general, the simulators have a limited set of subjects. The main goal of this paper is to propose a new computational method to increase the number of virtual subjects, with physiological characteristics, included in the original mathematical models. METHODS A subject is defined by a set of parameters given by a mathematical model. From the available reduced number of subjects in the model, the covariance of each parameter of every subject is obtained to establish a mathematical relationship. Then, new sets of parameters are calculated using linear regression methods; this generates larger cohorts, which allows for testing insulin therapies in open-loop or closed-loop scenarios. The new method proposed here increases the number of subjects in a virtual cohort using two versions of Hovorka's mathematical model. RESULTS Two covariant cohorts are obtained with linear regression. Both cohorts are clustered to avoid overlapping in the glucose-insulin dynamics and are compared in terms of their qualitative and quantitative behaviours in the normoglycemic range. As a result, there have been generated two larger cohorts (256 subjects) than the original population, which contributes to improving the variability in in-silico tests. In addition, for analysing the characteristics of the covariant generation method, two random cohorts have been generated, where the parameters are obtained individually and independently from each other, exhibiting only distribution limitations so that these cohorts do not have physiological subjects. CONCLUSIONS The proposed methodology has enabled the generation of a large cohort of 256 subjects, with different characteristics that are plausible in the T1DM population, significantly increasing the number of available subjects in existing mathematical models. The proposed methodology does not limit the number of subjects that can be generated and thus, it can be used to increase the number of cohorts provided by other mathematical models in diabetes, or even other scientific problems.

Abstract
The daily challenge for people with type 1 diabetes is maintaining glycaemia in the "normal" range after meals, by injecting themselves the correct amount of insulin. Artificial pancreas systems were developed to adjust insulin delivery based on real-time monitoring of glycaemia and meal patient's report. Meal reporting is a heavy burden for patients as it requires carbohydrate estimation several times per day. To improve patient's quality of life and treatment, several methods aim at detecting unannounced meals. While untreated meals lead to hyperglycaemia and in the long-term to comorbidities, treating falsely detected meals can cause hypoglycaemia and coma. In this paper, we propose to customise the meal detection to the patient's hourly meal probability in order to limit false detection of unannounced meals.

Abstract
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a chronic health condition resulting from pancreatic beta cell dysfunction and insulin depletion. While automated insulin delivery systems are now available, many people choose to manage insulin delivery manually through insulin pumps or through multiple daily injections. Frequent insulin titrations are needed to adequately manage glucose, however, provider adjustments are typically made every several months. Recent automated decision support systems incorporate artificial intelligence algorithms to deliver personalized recommendations regarding insulin doses and daily behaviors. This paper presents a comprehensive review of computational and artificial intelligence-based decision support systems to manage T1D. Articles were obtained from PubMed, IEEE Xplore, and ScienceDirect databases. No time period restrictions were imposed on the search. After removing off-topic articles and duplicates, 562 articles were left to review. Of those articles, we identified 61 articles for comprehensive review based on algorithm evaluation using real-world human data, in silico trials, or clinical studies. We grouped decision support systems into general categories of (1) those which recommend adjustments to insulin and (2) those which predict and help avoid hypoglycemia. We review the artificial intelligence methods used for each type of decision support system, and discuss the performance and potential applications of these systems.

Abstract
This study elaborates on the design of artificial pancreas using model predictive control algorithm for a comprehensive physiological model such as the Sorensen model, which regulates the blood glucose and can have a longer control time in normal glycaemic region. The main objective of the proposed algorithm is to eliminate the risk of hyper and hypoglycaemia and have a precise infusion of hormones: insulin and glucagon. A single model predictive controller is developed to control the bihormones, insulin, and glucagon for such a development unmeasured disturbance is considered for a random time. The simulation result for the proposed algorithm performed good regulation lowering the hypoglycaemia risk and maintaining the glucose level within the normal glycaemic range. To validate the performance of the tracking of output and setpoint, average tracking error is used and 4.4 mg/dl results are obtained while compared with standard value (14.3 mg/dl).

Abstract
Recent, rapid changes in the treatment of type 1 diabetes have allowed for commercialization of an "artificial pancreas" that is better described as a closed-loop controller of insulin delivery. This review presents the current state of closed-loop control systems and expected future developments with a discussion of the human factor issues in allowing automation of glucose control. The goal of these systems is to minimize or prevent both short-term and long-term complications from diabetes and to decrease the daily burden of managing diabetes. The closed-loop systems are generally very effective and safe at night, have allowed for improved sleep, and have decreased the burden of diabetes management overnight. However, there are still significant barriers to achieving excellent daytime glucose control while simultaneously decreasing the burden of daytime diabetes management. These systems use a subcutaneous continuous glucose sensor, an algorithm that accounts for the current glucose and rate of change of the glucose, and the amount of insulin that has already been delivered to safely deliver insulin to control hyperglycemia, while minimizing the risk of hypoglycemia. The future challenge will be to allow for full closed-loop control with minimal burden on the patient during the day, alleviating meal announcements, carbohydrate counting, alerts, and maintenance. The human factors involved with interfacing with a closed-loop system and allowing the system to take control of diabetes management are significant. It is important to find a balance between enthusiasm and realistic expectations and experiences with the closed-loop system.

Abstract
Introduction: Automated insulin delivery for people with type 1 diabetes has been a major goal in the diabetes technology field for many years. While a fully automated system has not yet been accomplished, the MiniMed™ 670G artificial pancreas (AP) system is the first commercially available insulin pump that automates basal insulin delivery, while still requiring user input for insulin boluses. Determining the safety and efficacy of this system is essential to the development of future devices striving for more automation. Areas Covered: This review will provide an overview of how the MiniMed 670G system works including its safety and efficacy, how it compares to similar devices, and anticipated future advances in diabetes technology currently under development. Expert Opinion: The ultimate goal of advanced diabetes technologies is to reduce the burden and amount of management required of patients with diabetes. In addition to reducing patient workload, achieving better glucose control and improving hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) values are essential for reducing the threat of diabetes-related complications further down the road. Current devices come close to reaching these goals, but understanding the unmet needs of patients with diabetes will allow future technologies to achieve these goals more quickly.

Abstract
In classical approaches for an artificial pancreas, continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) is the only measured variable used for insulin dosing and additional control functions. The CGM values are subject to time delays and slow dynamics between blood and the sensing location. These time lags compromise the controller's performance in maintaining (near to) normal glucose levels. Meal information could enhance the control outcome. However, meal announcement by the user is not reliable, and it takes 30 min to 40 min from meal onset until a meal is detected by methods based on CGM. In this pilot study, the use of bowel sounds for meal detection was investigated. In particular, we focused on whether bowel sounds change qualitatively during or shortly after meal ingestion. After fasting for at least 4 h, 11 healthy volunteers ingested a lunch meal at their usual time. Abdominal sound was recorded by a condenser microphone that was attached to the right upper quadrant of the abdomen by medical tape. Features that describe the power distribution over the frequency spectrum were extracted and used for classification by support vector machines. These classifiers were trained in a leave-one-out cross-validation scheme. Meals could be detected on average 10 min (std: 4.4 min) after they had started. Half of these were detected without false alarms. This shows that abdominal sound monitoring could provide an early meal detection. Further studies should investigate this possibility on a larger population in more general settings.

Abstract
IN BRIEF Automated insulin delivery (AID; also known as artificial pancreas) has improved the regulation of blood glucose concentrations, reduced the frequency of hyperglycemic and hypoglycemic episodes, and improved the quality of life of people with diabetes and their families. Three different types of algorithms-proportional-integral-derivative control, model predictive control, and fuzzy-logic knowledge-based systems-have been used in AID control systems. This article will highlight the foundations of these algorithms and discuss their strengths and limitations. Multivariable artificial pancreas and dual-hormone (insulin and glucagon) systems will be introduced.

Abstract
An adaptive model predictive control (MPC) algorithm with dynamic adjustments of constraints and objective function weights based on estimates of the plasma insulin concentration (PIC) is proposed for artificial pancreas (AP) systems. A personalized compartment model that translates the infused insulin into estimates of PIC is integrated with a recursive subspace-based system identification to characterize the transient dynamics of glycemic measurements. The system identification approach is able to identify stable, reliable linear time-varying models from closed-loop data. An MPC algorithm using the adaptive models is designed to compute the optimal exogenous insulin delivery for AP systems without requiring any manually-entered meal information. A dynamic safety constraint derived from the estimation of PIC is incorporated in the adaptive MPC to improve the efficacy of the AP and prevent insulin overdosing. Simulation case studies demonstrate the performance of the proposed adaptive MPC algorithm.

Abstract
Accurate continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) is essential for fully automated glucose control in diabetes mellitus type 1. State-of-the-art glucose control systems automatically regulate the basal insulin infusion. Users still need to manually announce meals to dose the prandial insulin boluses. An automated meal detection could release the user and improve the glucose regulation. In this study, patterns in the postprandial CGM data are exploited for meal detection. Binary classifiers are trained to recognize the postprandial pattern in horizons of the estimated glucose rate of appearance and in CGM data. The appearance rate is determined by moving horizon estimation based on a simple model. Linear discriminant analysis (LDA) is used for classification. The proposed method is compared to methods that detect meals when thresholds are violated. Diabetes care data from 12 free-living pediatric patients was downloaded during regular screening. Experts identified meals and their start by retrospective evaluation. The classification was tested by cross-validation. Compared to the threshold-based methods, LDA showed higher sensitivity to meals with a low rate of false alarms. Classifying horizons outperformed the other methods also with respect to time of detection. The onset of meals can be detected by pattern recognition based on estimated model states and consecutive CGM measurements. No individual tuning is necessary. This makes the method easily adopted in the clinical practice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite the recent advancements in the modeling of glycemic dynamics for type 1 diabetes mellitus, automatically considering unannounced meals and exercise without manual user inputs remains challenging. METHOD An adaptive model identification technique that incorporates exercise information and estimates of the effects of unannounced meals obtained automatically without user input is proposed in this work. The effects of the unknown consumed carbohydrates are estimated using an individualized unscented Kalman filtering algorithm employing an augmented glucose-insulin dynamic model, and exercise information is acquired from noninvasive physiological measurements. The additional information on meals and exercise is incorporated with personalized estimates of plasma insulin concentration and glucose measurement data in an adaptive model identification algorithm. RESULTS The efficacy of the proposed personalized and adaptive modeling algorithm is demonstrated using clinical data involving closed-loop experiments of the artificial pancreas system, and the results demonstrate accurate glycemic modeling with the average root-mean-square error (mean absolute error) of 25.50 mg/dL (18.18 mg/dL) for six-step (30 minutes ahead) predictions. CONCLUSIONS The approach presented is able to identify reliable time-varying individualized glucose-insulin models.
