Abstract

The diabetes is correlated to a malfunction of the pancreas that produces very little or no insulin. A way to improve the quality of life of people with diabetes is to implement an artificial pancreas able to inject an insulin bolus when necessary. The aim of this paper is to devise a possibly step in constructing the fundamental element of such an artificial pancreas - estimation of the blood glucose (BG) through interstitial glucose (IG) measurements. In particular, a new methodology is presented to derive a mathematical relationship between BG and IG by exploiting the ability of the evolutionary techniques in solving this regression task. An automatic procedure is used to estimate the missing BG values within this database. To validate the discovered model a comparison with other models is carried out during the experimental phase.
