  • Abstract
    Type 1 diabetics make decisions on insulin doses given certain conditions, such as blood glucose levels, food and exercise, every day of their lives, using a set of rules. The complex nature of the disease and the limited amount of data available have posed challenges in establishing such rules for an advisory expert system. The authors address the issues surrounding selecting techniques which are most appropriate to extract and update these rules
