Abstract :
Glucose is an important source of energy for cells. In clinical practice, we measure glucose level in blood and interstitial fluid. Each method has its pros and cons, and both levels correlate with each other. As the body tries to maintain the glucose level within a particular range to avoid adverse effects, it is desirable to predict future glucose levels in order to aid provided health care. We can see this desire in research, e.g., research on glucose transporters of cells. As yet another example, we can see it with diabetic patients, patients in a metabolic intensive care unit, particularly. In this paper, a glucose level prediction method is proposed.
