Abstract :
An educational software (GLUCOSIM) is developed for illustrating the dynamics of blood glucose and insulin levels in Type I diabetes patients. This work extends the use or GLUCOSIM to closed-loop control of blood glucose levels with the use of an implantable glucose sensor and an insulin infusion pump. Various control strategies are applied to maintain blood glucose concentration close to natural values (Euglycemia) in Type I diabetic patients.
