Abstract | Individuals with type 1 diabetes (T1D) need life-long insulin therapy to compensate for the lack of endogenous insulin due to the autoimmune damage to pancreatic beta-cells. Treatment is based on basal and bolus insulin, to cover fasting and postprandial periods, respectively, according to three insulin dosing parameters: basal rate (BR), carbohydrate-to-insulin ratio (CR), and correction factor (CF). Suboptimal BR, CR, and CF profiles leading to incorrect insulin dosing may be the cause of undesired glycemic events, which carry dangerous short-term and long-term effects. Therefore, correct tuning of these parameters is of the utmost importance. In this work, we propose a new algorithm to optimize insulin dosing parameters in individuals with T1D who use a continuous glucose monitor and an insulin pump. The algorithm was tested using the University of Virginia/Padova T1D Simulator and led to an improvement in the quality of glycemic control. Future efforts will be devoted to test the algorithm in human clinical trials. |
