Abstract
The aim of this article is to describe how NN have been applied for the simulation of glucose—insulin metabolism, and to present two NN based personalized models for children with T1DM. The models, which are able to make short-term glucose predictions, are based on the combined use of MMs and NNs. The models are comparatively assessed using data about glucose levels, insulin intake, and diet during previous time periods, from four children with T1DM.
