Abstract
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) presents a significant health challenge, requiring patients to actively manage their blood glucose (BG) levels through regular bolus insulin administration. Automated control solutions based on machine learning (ML) models could reduce the need for manual patient intervention. However, the accuracy of current models falls short of what is needed. This is due in part to the fact that these models are often trained on data collected using a basal bolus (BB) strategy, which results in substantial entanglement between bolus insulin and carbohydrate intake. Under standard training approaches, this entanglement can lead to inaccurate forecasts in a control setting, ultimately resulting in poor BG management. To address this, we propose a novel algorithm for training BG forecasters that disentangles the effects of insulin and carbohydrates. By exploiting correction bolus values and leveraging the monotonic effect of insulin on BG, our method accurately captures the independent effects of insulin and carbohydrates on BG. Using an FDA-approved simulator, we evaluated our approach on 10 individuals across 30 days of data. Our approach achieved on average higher time in range compared to standard approaches (81.1% [95% confidence interval (CI) 80.3,81.9] vs 53.6% [95%CI 52.7,54.6], p<0.001), indicating that our approach is able to reliably maintain healthy BG levels in simulated individuals, while baseline approaches are not. Utilizing proxy metrics, our approach also demonstrates potential for improved control on three real world datasets, paving the way for advancements in ML-based BG management.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) affects over 9 million worldwide and necessitates meticulous self-management for blood glucose (BG) control. Utilizing BG prediction technology allows for increased BG control and a reduction in the diabetes burden caused by self-management requirements. This paper reviews BG prediction models in T1D, which include nutritional components. METHOD A systematic search, utilizing the PRISMA guidelines, identified articles focusing on BG prediction algorithms for T1D that incorporate nutritional variables. Eligible studies were screened and analyzed for model type, inclusion of additional aspects in the model, prediction horizon, patient population, inputs, and accuracy. RESULTS The study categorizes 138 blood glucose prediction models into data-driven (54%), physiological (14%), and hybrid (33%) types. Prediction horizons of ≤30 min are used in 36% of models, 31-60 min in 34%, 61-90 min in 11%, 91-120 min in 10%, and >120 min in 9%. Neural networks are the most used data-driven technique (47%), and simple carbohydrate intake is commonly included in models (data-driven: 72%, physiological: 52%, hybrid: 67%). Real or free-living data are predominantly used (83%). CONCLUSION The primary goal of blood glucose prediction in T1D is to enable informed decisions and maintain safe BG levels, considering the impact of all nutrients for meal planning and clinical relevance.

Abstract
We developed an attention model to predict future adverse glycemic events 30 min in advance based on the observation of past glycemic values over a 35 min period. The proposed model effectively encodes insulin administration and meal intake time using Time2Vec (T2V) for glucose prediction. The proposed impartial feature selection algorithm is designed to distribute rewards proportionally according to agent contributions. Agent contributions are calculated by a step-by-step negation of updated agents. Thus, the proposed feature selection algorithm optimizes features from electronic medical records to improve performance. For evaluation, we collected continuous glucose monitoring data from 102 patients with type 2 diabetes admitted to Cheonan Hospital, Soonchunhyang University. Using our proposed model, we achieved F1-scores of 89.0%, 60.6%, and 89.8% for normoglycemia, hypoglycemia, and hyperglycemia, respectively.

Abstract
Leveraging continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) systems, real-time blood glucose (BG) forecasting is essential for proactive interventions, playing a crucial role in enhancing the management of type 1 diabetes (T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D). However, developing a model generalized to a population and subsequently embedding it within a microchip of a wearable device presents significant technical challenges. Furthermore, the domain of BG prediction in T2D remains under-explored in the literature. In light of this, we propose a population-specific BG prediction model, leveraging the capabilities of the temporal fusion Transformer (TFT) to adjust predictions based on personal demographic data. Then the trained model is embedded within a system-on-chip, integral to our low-power and low-cost customized wearable device. This device seamlessly communicates with CGM systems through Bluetooth and provides timely BG predictions using edge computing. When evaluated on two publicly available clinical datasets with a total of 124 participants with T1D or T2D, the embedded TFT model consistently demonstrated superior performance, achieving the lowest prediction errors when compared with a range of machine learning baseline methods. Executing the TFT model on our wearable device requires minimal memory and power consumption, enabling continuous decision support for more than 51 days on a single Li-Poly battery charge. These findings demonstrate the significant potential of the proposed TFT model and wearable device in enhancing the quality of life for people with diabetes and effectively addressing real-world challenges.

Abstract
Glucose management at night is a major challenge for people with type 1 diabetes (T1D), especially for those managed with multiple daily injections (MDIs). In this study, we developed machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) models to predict nocturnal glucose within the target range (3.9-10 mmol/L), above the target range, and below the target range in subjects with T1D managed with MDIs. The models were trained and tested on continuous glucose monitoring data obtained from 380 subjects with T1D. Two DL algorithms-multi-layer perceptron (MLP) and a convolutional neural network (CNN)-as well as two classic ML algorithms, random forest (RF) and gradient boosting trees (GBTs), were applied. The resulting models based on the DL and ML algorithms demonstrated high and similar accuracy in predicting target glucose (F1 metric: 96-98%) and above-target glucose (F1: 93-97%) within a 30 min prediction horizon. Model performance was poorer when predicting low glucose (F1: 80-86%). MLP provided the highest accuracy in low-glucose prediction. The results indicate that both DL (MLP, CNN) and ML (RF, GBTs) algorithms operating CGM data can be used for the simultaneous prediction of nocturnal glucose values within the target, above-target, and below-target ranges in people with T1D managed with MDIs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Type 1 diabetes (T1D) simulators, crucial for advancing diabetes treatments, often fall short of capturing the entire complexity of the glucose-insulin system due to the imprecise approximation of the physiological models. This study introduces a simulation approach employing a conditional deep generative model. The aim is to overcome the limitations of existing T1D simulators by synthesizing virtual patients that more accurately represent the entire glucose-insulin system physiology. METHODS Our methodology utilizes a sequence-to-sequence generative adversarial network to simulate virtual T1D patients causally. Causality is embedded in the model by introducing shifted input-output pairs during training, with a 90-min shift capturing the impact of input insulin and carbohydrates on blood glucose. To validate our approach, we train and evaluate the model using three distinct datasets, each consisting of 27, 12, and 10 T1D patients, respectively. In addition, we subject the trained model to further validation for closed-loop therapy, employing a state-of-the-art controller. RESULTS The generated patients display statistical similarity to real patients when evaluated on the time-in-range results for each of the standard blood glucose ranges in T1D management along with means and variability outcomes. When tested for causality, authentic causal links are identified between the insulin, carbohydrates, and blood glucose levels of the virtual patients. The trained generative model demonstrates behaviours that are closer to reality compared to conventional T1D simulators when subjected to closed-loop insulin therapy using a state-of-the-art controller. CONCLUSIONS These results highlight our approach's capability to accurately capture physiological dynamics and establish genuine causal relationships, holding promise for enhancing the development and evaluation of therapies in diabetes.

Abstract
Accurate prediction of blood glucose levels is essential for type 1 diabetes optimizing insulin therapy and minimizing complications in patients with type 1 diabetes. Using ensemble learning algorithms is a promising approach. In this regard, this study proposes an improved stacking ensemble learning algorithm for predicting blood glucose level, in which three improved long short-term memory network models are used as the base model, and an improved nearest neighbor propagation clustering algorithm is adaptively weighted to this ensemble model. The OhioT1DM dataset is used to train and evaluate the performance of the proposed model. This study evaluated the performance of the proposed model using the Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), Mean Absolute Error (MAE), and Matthews Correlation Coefficient (MCC) as the evaluation metrics. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed model achieves an RMSE of 1.425 mg/dL, MAE of 0.721 mg/dL, and MCC of 0.982 mg/dL for a 30-minute prediction horizon(PH), RMSE of 3.212 mg/dL, MAE of 1.605 mg/dL, and MCC of 0.950 mg/dL for a 45-minute PH; and RMSE of 6.346 mg/dL, MAE of 3.232 mg/dL, and MCC of 0.930 mg/dL for a 60-minute PH. Compared with the best non-ensemble model StackLSTM, the RMSE and MAE were improved by up to 27.92% and 65.32%, respectively. Clarke Error Grid Analysis and critical difference diagram revealed that the model errors were within 10%. The model proposed in this study exhibits state-of-the-art predictive performance, making it suitable for clinical decision-making and of significant importance for the effective treatment of diabetes in patients.

Abstract
Accurate short- and mid-term blood glucose predictions are crucial for patients with diabetes struggling to maintain healthy glucose levels, as well as for individuals at risk of developing the disease. Consequently, numerous efforts from the scientific community have focused on developing predictive models for glucose levels. This study harnesses physiological data collected from wearable sensors to construct a series of data-driven models based on deep learning approaches. We systematically compare these models to offer insights for practitioners and researchers venturing into glucose prediction using deep learning techniques. Key questions addressed in this work encompass the comparison of various deep learning architectures for this task, determining the optimal set of input variables for accurate glucose prediction, comparing population-wide, fine-tuned, and personalized models, and assessing the impact of an individual's data volume on model performance. Additionally, as part of our outcomes, we introduce a meticulously curated dataset inclusive of data from both healthy individuals and those with diabetes, recorded in free-living conditions. This dataset aims to foster research in this domain and facilitate equitable comparisons among researchers.

Abstract
Real-time prediction of blood glucose levels (BGLs) in individuals with type 1 diabetes (T1D) presents considerable challenges. Accordingly, we present a personalized multitasking framework aimed to forecast blood glucose levels in patients. The patient data was initially categorized according to gender and age and subsequently utilized as input for a modified GRU network model, creating five prediction sub-models. The model hyperparameters were optimized and tuned after introducing the decay factor and incorporating the TCN network and attention mechanism into the GRU model. This step was undertaken to improve the capability of feature extraction. The Ohio T1DM clinical dataset was used to train and evaluate the performance of the proposed model. The metrics, including Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), Mean Absolute Error (MAE) and Clark Error Grid Analysis (EGA), were used to evaluate the performance. The results showed that the average RMSE and the MAE of the proposed model were 16.896 and 9.978 mg/dL, respectively, over the prediction horizon (PH) of 30 minutes. The average RMSE and the MAE were 28.881 and 19.347 mg/dL, respectively, over the PH of 60 min. The proposed model demonstrated excellent prediction accuracy. In addition, the EGA analysis showed that the proposed model accurately predicted 30-minute and 60-minute PH within zones A and B, demonstrating that the framework is clinically feasible. The proposed personalized multitask prediction model in this study offers robust assistance for clinical decision-making, playing a pivotal role in improving the outcomes of individuals with diabetes.

Abstract
Background The overarching goal of blood glucose forecasting is to assist individuals with type 1 diabetes (T1D) in avoiding hyper- or hypoglycemic conditions. While deep learning approaches have shown promising results for blood glucose forecasting in adults with T1D, it is not known if these results generalize to children. Possible reasons are physical activity (PA), which is often unplanned in children, as well as age and development of a child, which both have an effect on the blood glucose level. Materials and Methods In this study, we collected time series measurements of glucose levels, carbohydrate intake, insulin-dosing and physical activity from children with T1D for one week in an ethics approved prospective observational study, which included daily physical activities. We investigate the performance of state-of-the-art deep learning methods for adult data-(dilated) recurrent neural networks and a transformer-on our dataset for short-term (30 min) and long-term (2 h) prediction. We propose to integrate static patient characteristics, such as age, gender, BMI, and percentage of basal insulin, to account for the heterogeneity of our study group. Results Integrating static patient characteristics (SPC) proves beneficial, especially for short-term prediction. LSTMs and GRUs with SPC perform best for a prediction horizon of 30 min (RMSE of 1.66 mmol/l), a vanilla RNN with SPC performs best across different prediction horizons, while the performance significantly decays for long-term prediction. For prediction during the night, the best method improves to an RMSE of 1.50 mmol/l. Overall, the results for our baselines and RNN models indicate that blood glucose forecasting for children conducting regular physical activity is more challenging than for previously studied adult data. Conclusion We find that integrating static data improves the performance of deep-learning architectures for blood glucose forecasting of children with T1D and achieves promising results for short-term prediction. Despite these improvements, additional clinical studies are warranted to extend forecasting to longer-term prediction horizons.

Abstract
BACKGROUND New methods of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) provide real-time alerts for hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia, and rapid fluctuations of glucose levels, thereby improving glycemic control, which is especially crucial during meals and physical activity. However, complex CGM systems pose challenges for individuals with diabetes and healthcare professionals, particularly when interpreting rapid glucose level changes, dealing with sensor delays (approximately a 10 min difference between interstitial and plasma glucose readings), and addressing potential malfunctions. The development of advanced predictive glucose level classification models becomes imperative for optimizing insulin dosing and managing daily activities. METHODS The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of three different predictive models for the glucose level classification: (1) an autoregressive integrated moving average model (ARIMA), (2) logistic regression, and (3) long short-term memory networks (LSTM). The performance of these models was evaluated in predicting hypoglycemia (<70 mg/dL), euglycemia (70-180 mg/dL), and hyperglycemia (>180 mg/dL) classes 15 min and 1 h ahead. More specifically, the confusion matrices were obtained and metrics such as precision, recall, and accuracy were computed for each model at each predictive horizon. RESULTS As expected, ARIMA underperformed the other models in predicting hyper- and hypoglycemia classes for both the 15 min and 1 h horizons. For the 15 min forecast horizon, the performance of logistic regression was the highest of all the models for all glycemia classes, with recall rates of 96% for hyper, 91% for norm, and 98% for hypoglycemia. For the 1 h forecast horizon, the LSTM model turned out to be the best for hyper- and hypoglycemia classes, achieving recall values of 85% and 87% respectively. CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest that different models may have varying strengths and weaknesses in predicting glucose level classes, and the choice of model should be carefully considered based on the specific requirements and context of the clinical application. The logistic regression model proved to be more accurate for the next 15 min, particularly in predicting hypoglycemia. However, the LSTM model outperformed logistic regression in predicting glucose level class for the next hour. Future research could explore hybrid models or ensemble approaches that combine the strengths of multiple models to further enhance the accuracy and reliability of glucose predictions.

Abstract
Machine learning has become a popular tool for learning models of complex dynamics from biomedical data. In Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) management, these models are increasingly been integrated in decision support systems (DSS) to forecast glucose levels and provide preventive therapeutic suggestions, like corrective insulin boluses (CIB), accordingly. Typically, models are chosen based on their prediction accuracy. However, since patient safety is a concern in this application, the algorithm should also be physiologically sound and its outcome should be explainable. This paper aims to discuss the importance of using tools to interpret the output of black-box models in T1D management by presenting a case-of-study on the selection of the best prediction algorithm to integrate in a DSS for CIB suggestion. By retrospectively "replaying" real patient data, we show that two long-short term memory neural networks (LSTM) (named p-LSTM and np-LSTM) with similar prediction accuracy could lead to different therapeutic decisions. An analysis with SHAP-a tool for explaining black-box models' output-unambiguously shows that only p-LSTM learnt the physiological relationship between inputs and glucose prediction, and should therefore be preferred. This is verified by showing that, when embedded in the DSS, only p-LSTM can improve patients' glycemic control.

Abstract
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a subtype of diabetes that develops during pregnancy. Managing blood glucose (BG) within the healthy physiological range can reduce clinical complications for women with gestational diabetes. The objectives of this study are to (1) develop benchmark glucose prediction models with long short-term memory (LSTM) recurrent neural network models using time-series data collected from the GDm-Health platform, (2) compare the prediction accuracy with published results, and (3) suggest an optimized clinical review schedule with the potential to reduce the overall number of blood tests for mothers with stable and within-range glucose measurements. A total of 190,396 BG readings from 1110 patients were used for model development, validation and testing under three different prediction schemes: 7 days of BG readings to predict the next 7 or 14 days and 14 days to predict 14 days. Our results show that the optimized BG schedule based on a 7-day observational window to predict the BG of the next 14 days achieved the accuracies of the root mean square error (RMSE) = 0.958 ± 0.007, 0.876 ± 0.003, 0.898 ± 0.003, 0.622 ± 0.003, 0.814 ± 0.009 and 0.845 ± 0.005 for the after-breakfast, after-lunch, after-dinner, before-breakfast, before-lunch and before-dinner predictions, respectively. This is the first machine learning study that suggested an optimized blood glucose monitoring frequency, which is 7 days to monitor the next 14 days based on the accuracy of blood glucose prediction. Moreover, the accuracy of our proposed model based on the fingerstick blood glucose test is on par with the prediction accuracies compared with the benchmark performance of one-hour prediction models using continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) readings. In conclusion, the stacked LSTM model is a promising approach for capturing the patterns in time-series data, resulting in accurate predictions of BG levels. Using a deep learning model with routine fingerstick glucose collection is a promising, predictable and low-cost solution for BG monitoring for women with gestational diabetes.

Abstract
Glucose trend prediction based on continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) data is a crucial step in the implementation of an artificial pancreas (AP). A glucose trend prediction model with high accuracy in real-time can greatly improve the glycemic control effect of the artificial pancreas and effectively prevent the occurrence of hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia. In this paper, we propose an improved wavelet transform threshold denoising algorithm for the non-linearity and non-smoothness of the original CGM data. By quantitatively comparing the mean square error (MSE) and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) before and after the improvement, we prove that the improved wavelet transform threshold denoising algorithm can reduce the degree of distortion after the smoothing of CGM data and improve the extraction effect of CGM data features at the same time. Based on this finding, we propose a glucose trend prediction model (IWT-GRU) based on the improved wavelet transform threshold denoising algorithm and gated recurrent unit. We compared the root mean square error (RMSE), mean absolute percentage error (MAPE), and coefficient of determination ($ {\mathrm{R}}^{2} $) of Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN), Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), Support vector regression (SVR), Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) and IWT-GRU on the original CGM monitoring data of 80 patients for 7 consecutive days with different prediction horizon (PH). The results showed that the IWT-GRU model outperformed the other four models. At PH = 45 min, the RMSE was 0.5537 mmol/L, MAPE was 2.2147%, $ {\mathrm{R}}^{2} $ was 0.989 and the average runtime was only 37.2 seconds. Finally, we analyze the limitations of this study and provide an outlook on the future direction of blood glucose trend prediction.

Abstract
Despite tremendous developments in continuous blood glucose measurement (CBGM) sensors, they are still not accurate for all patients with diabetes. As glucose concentration in the blood is <1% of the total blood volume, it is challenging to accurately measure glucose levels in the interstitial fluid using CBGM sensors due to within-patient and between-patient variations. To address this issue, we developed a novel data-driven approach to accurately predict CBGM values using personalized calibration and machine learning. First, we scientifically divided measured blood glucose into smaller groups, namely, hypoglycemia (<80 mg/dL), nondiabetic (81-115 mg/dL), prediabetes (116-150 mg/dL), diabetes (151-181 mg/dL), severe diabetes (181-250 mg/dL), and critical diabetes (>250 mg/dL). Second, we separately trained each group using different machine learning models based on patients' personalized parameters, such as physical activity, posture, heart rate, breath rate, skin temperature, and food intake. Lastly, we used multilayer perceptron (MLP) for the D1NAMO dataset (training to test ratio: 70:30) and grid search for hyperparameter optimization to predict accurate blood glucose concentrations. We successfully applied our proposed approach in nine patients with type 1 diabetes and observed that the mean absolute relative difference (MARD) decreased from 17.8% to 8.3%.

Abstract
Background and aims: Blood glucose prediction (BGP) has increasingly been adopted for personalized monitoring of blood glucose levels in diabetic patients, providing valuable support for physicians in diagnosis and treatment planning. Despite the remarkable success achieved, applying BGP in multi-patient scenarios remains problematic, largely due to the inherent heterogeneity and uncertain nature of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) data obtained from diverse patient profiles. Methodology: This study proposes the first graph-based Heterogeneous Temporal Representation (HETER) network for multi-patient Blood Glucose Prediction (BGP). Specifically, HETER employs a flexible subsequence repetition method (SSR) to align the heterogeneous input samples, in contrast to the traditional padding or truncation methods. Then, the relationships between multiple samples are constructed as a graph and learned by HETER to capture global temporal characteristics. Moreover, to address the limitations of conventional graph neural networks in capturing local temporal dependencies and providing linear representations, HETER incorporates both a temporally-enhanced mechanism and a linear residual fusion into its architecture. Results: Comprehensive experiments were conducted to validate the proposed method using real-world data from 112 patients in two hospitals, comparing it with five well-known baseline methods. The experimental results verify the robustness and accuracy of the proposed HETER, which achieves the maximal improvement of 31.42%, 27.18%, and 34.85% in terms of MAE, MAPE, and RMSE, respectively, over the second-best comparable method. Discussions: HETER integrates global and local temporal information from multi-patient samples to alleviate the impact of heterogeneity and uncertainty. This method can also be extended to other clinical tasks, thereby facilitating efficient and accurate capture of crucial pattern information in structured medical data.

Abstract
Diabetes and its complications are seriously threatening the health and well-being of hundreds of millions of people. Glucose levels are essential indicators of the health conditions of diabetics. Over the past decade, concerted efforts in various fields have led to significant advances in glucose monitoring technology. In particular, the rapid development of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) based on electrochemical sensing principles has great potential to overcome the limitations of self-monitoring blood glucose (SMBG) in continuously tracking glucose trends, evaluating diabetes treatment options, and improving the quality of life of diabetics. However, the applications of minimally invasive electrochemical CGM sensors are still limited owing to the following aspects: i) invasiveness, ii) short lifespan, iii) biocompatibility, and iv) calibration and prediction. In recent years, the performance of minimally invasive electrochemical CGM systems (CGMSs) has been significantly improved owing to breakthrough developments in new materials and key technologies. In this review, we summarize the history of commercial CGMSs, the development of sensing principles, and the research progress of minimally invasive electrochemical CGM sensors in reducing the invasiveness of implanted probes, maintaining enzyme activity, and improving the biocompatibility of the sensor interface. In addition, this review also introduces calibration algorithms and prediction algorithms applied to CGMSs and describes the application of machine learning algorithms for glucose prediction.

Abstract
Diabetes Mellitus, a metabolic disease, causes the body to lose control over blood glucose regulation. With recent advances in self-monitoring systems, a patient can access their personalized glycemic profile and may utilize it for efficient prediction of future blood glucose levels. An efficient diabetes management system demands the accurate estimation of blood glucose levels, which, apart from using an appropriate prediction algorithm, depends on discriminative data representation. In this research work, a transformation of event-based data into discriminative continuous features is proposed. Moreover, a multi-layered long short-term memory (LSTM)-based recurrent neural network is developed for the prediction of blood glucose levels in patients with type 1 diabetes. The proposed method is used to forecast the blood glucose level on a prediction horizon of 30 and 60 min. The results are evaluated for three patients using the Ohio T1DM dataset. The proposed scheme achieves the lowest RMSE score of 14.76 mg/dL and 25.48 mg/dL for prediction horizons of 30 min and 60 min, respectively. The suggested methodology can be utilized in closed-loop systems for precise insulin delivery to type 1 patients for better glycemic control.

Abstract
Diabetes as a metabolic illness can be characterized by increased amounts of blood glucose. This abnormal increase can lead to critical detriment to the other organs such as the kidneys, eyes, heart, nerves, and blood vessels. Therefore, its prediction, prognosis, and management are essential to prevent harmful effects and also recommend more useful treatments. For these goals, machine learning algorithms have found considerable attention and have been developed successfully. This review surveys the recently proposed machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) models for the objectives mentioned earlier. The reported results disclose that the ML and DL algorithms are promising approaches for controlling blood glucose and diabetes. However, they should be improved and employed in large datasets to affirm their applicability.

Abstract
Glucose level regulation with essential advice regarding diabetes must be provided to the patients to maintain their diet for diabetes treatment. Therefore, the academic community has focused on implementing novel glucose prediction techniques for decision support systems. Recent computational techniques for diagnosing diabetes have certain limitations, and also they are not evaluated under various datasets obtained from the different people of various countries. This generates inefficiency in the prediction systems to apply it in real-time applications. This paper plans to suggest a hybrid deep learning model for diabetes prediction and glucose level classification. Two benchmark datasets are used in the data collection process for experimenting. Initially, the deep selected features were extracted by the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). Further, weighted entropy deep features are extracted, where the tuning of weight is taken place by the Modified Escaping Energy-based Harris Hawks Optimization. These features are processed in the glucose level classification using the modified Fuzzy classifier for classifying the high-level and low-level glucose. Further, glucose prediction is done by the Hybrid Recurrent Neural Network (RNN), and Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) termed R-LSTM with parameter optimization. From the experimental result, In the dataset 2 analyses on SMAPE, the MEE-HHO-R-LSTM is 12.5%, 87.5%, 50%, 12.5%, and 2.5% better than SVM, LSTM, DNN, RNN, and RNN-LSTM, at the learning percentage of 75%. The analytical results enforce that the suggested methods attain enhanced prediction performance concerning the evaluation metrics compared to conventional prediction models.

Abstract
Accurate blood glucose (BG) forecasting is key in diabetes management, as it allows preventive actions to mitigate harmful hypoglycemic/hyperglycemic episodes. Considering the encouraging results obtained by seasonal stochastic models in proof-of-concept studies, this work assesses the methodology in two datasets (open-loop and closed-loop) recorded in free-living conditions. First, similar postprandial glycemic profiles are grouped together with fuzzy C-means clustering. Then, a seasonal stochastic model is identified for each cluster. Finally, real-time BG forecasting is performed by weighting each model’s prediction. The proposed methodology (named C-SARIMA) is compared to other linear and nonlinear black-box methods: autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA), its variant with input (ARIMAX), a feed-forward neural network (NN), and its modified version (NN-X) fed by BG, insulin, and carbohydrates (timing and dosing) information for several prediction horizons (PHs). In the open-loop dataset, C-SARIMA grants a median root-mean-squared error (RMSE) of 20.13 mg/dL (PH = 30) and 27.23 mg/dL (PH = 45), not significantly different from ARIMA and NN. Over a longer PH, C-SARIMA achieves an RMSE = 31.96 mg/dL (PH = 60) and RMSE = 33.91 mg/dL (PH = 75), significantly outperforming the ARIMA and NN, without significant differences from the ARIMAX for PH ≥ 45 and the NN-X for PH ≥ 60. Similar results hold on the closed-loop dataset: for PH = 30 and 45 min, the C-SARIMA achieves an RMSE = 21.63 mg/dL and RMSE = 29.67 mg/dL, not significantly different from the ARIMA and NN. On longer PH, the C-SARIMA outperforms the ARIMA for PH > 45 and the NN for PH > 60 without significant differences from the ARIMAX for PH ≥ 45. Although using less input information, the C-SARIMA achieves similar performance to other prediction methods such as the ARIMAX and NN-X and outperforming the CGM-only approaches on PH > 45min.

Abstract
Glucose management for people with type 2 diabetes mellitus is essential but challenging due to the multi-factored and chronic disease nature of diabetes. To control glucose levels in a safe range and lessen abnormal glucose variability efficiently and economically, an intelligent prediction of glucose is demanding. A glucose trajectory prediction system based on subcutaneous interstitial continuous glucose monitoring data and deep learning models for ensuing glucose trajectory was constructed, followed by the application of personalised prediction models on one participant with type 2 diabetes in a community. The predictive accuracy was then assessed by RMSE (root mean square error) using blood glucose data. Changes in glycaemic parameters of the participant before and after model intervention were also compared to examine the efficacy of this intelligence-aided health care. Individual Recurrent Neural Network model was developed on glucose data, with an average daily RMSE of 1.59 mmol/L in the application segment. In terms of the glucose variation, the mean glucose decreased by 0.66 mmol/L, and HBGI dropped from 12.99 × 102 to 9.17 × 102. However, the participant also had increased stress, especially in eating and social support. Our research presented a personalised care system for people with diabetes based on deep learning. The intelligence-aided health management system is promising to enhance the outcome of diabetic patients, but further research is also necessary to decrease stress in the intelligence-aided health management and investigate the stress impacts on diabetic patients.

Abstract
Glucose prediction is used in diabetes self-management as it allows to take suitable actions for proper glycemic regulation of the patient. The aim of this work is the short-term personalized glucose prediction in patients with Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). In this scope, we compared two different models, an autoregressive moving average (ARMA) model and a long short-term memory (LSTM) model for different prediction horizons. The comparison of two models was performed using the evaluation metrics of root mean square error (RMSE) and mean absolute error (MAE). The models were trained and tested in 29 real patients. The results shown that the LSTM model had better performance than ARMA with RMSE 3.13, 6.41 and 8.81 mg/dL and MAE 1.98, 5.06 and 6.47 mg/dL for 5-, 15- and 30-minutes prediction horizon.

Abstract
Optimal and sustainable control of blood glucose levels (BGLs) is the aim of type-1 diabetes management. The automated prediction of BGL using machine learning (ML) algorithms is considered as a promising tool that can support this aim. In this context, this paper proposes new advanced ML architectures to predict BGL leveraging deep learning and ensemble learning. The deep-ensemble models are developed with novel meta-learning approaches, where the feasibility of changing the dimension of a univariate time series forecasting task is investigated. The models are evaluated regression-wise and clinical-wise. The performance of the proposed ensemble models are compared with benchmark non-ensemble models. The results show the superior performance of the developed ensemble models over developed non-ensemble benchmark models and also show the efficacy of the proposed meta-learning approaches.

Abstract
Gas injection and water injection are common and effective methods to improve oil recovery. To ensure its production effect, it is necessary to simulate the oilfield production process. However, traditional composition simulation runs a large number of calculations and takes a long time. Through the analysis of relevant data, we found that production is affected by many factors and has a strong sequential character. Therefore, this paper proposes a deep learning model for reservoir production prediction based on stacked long short-term memory network (LSTM). It is applied to other well patterns with a short production time and a few samples in the same oilfield block by transfer learning. The model achieves an effective combination with the actual reservoir production process. At the same time, it uses the knowledge learned from the well pattern with sufficient historical data to assist in the establishment of the model of the well pattern with limited data. This can obtain accurate prediction results and save the model training time, thus getting more effective application effects than composition simulation. This paper verifies the effectiveness of the proposed method through the data and multiple different injection combinations of the Tarim oilfield.
