Abstract
This study introduces a personalized Model Predictive Control (MPC) strategy for managing type 1 diabetes, specifically addressing intra-day variability in glucose regulation. The proposed method uses a soft-switching mechanism combining multiple MPCs, each optimized for distinct day periods (breakfast, lunch, and dinner). Patient-specific models were identified using an enhanced impulse response technique, featuring a novel clinically-based cost function to better capture circadian dynamics. A switching mechanism ensures smooth transitions between controllers, minimizing disruptions. Performance was evaluated using the FDA-approved UVA/Padova simulator, demonstrating a 20% improvement in model fit and enhanced control performance compared to the state-of-art approach. The strategy consistently prevented hypoglycemia while improving time-in-target metrics.
