Monitoring Plasma Glucose Concentration from Interstitial Glucose Measurements for Patients at the Intensive Care Unit
The glucose homeostasis is responsible for regulating the blood glucose concentration around 100 mg / dl. When this physiological mechanism is broken due to the inability of the pancreas to produce insulin, an increase of the blood glucose levels is produced and patients are diagnosed with Diabetes Mellitus. In recent years, some research has directed towards the creation of an artificial pancreas that allows automatically the regulation of glucose levels in blood. However, one of the greatest difficulties in achieving this objective, is that not all internal variables of the mathematical model associated with the controller can be measured directly by physical sensors, either because there are no sensors for all variables, because existing...
