Method for controlling the delivery of insulin and the related system
First Claim
1. Method for controlling the delivery of insulin in a diabetic patient comprising steps of:
- providing data representative of at least a fraction of a meal that the patient will consume;
providing, from a block representative of conventional therapy or open loop rule that the patient is subject to, based on the data representative of at least a fraction of the meal that the patient will consume, a reference insulin value;
providing data representative of the difference between input data, representative of a reference glycemic level, and feedback data representative of the glycemic level detected in the patient;
providing, from a control module, based on the data representative of the difference between the input data, representative of the reference glycemic level, and the feedback data, representative of the glycemic level detected in the patient and the data representative of at least a fraction of the meal that the patient will consume, data representative of a first insulin variation value;
providing, based on the data, representative of the first insulin variation value, and data, representative of a basal insulin value, a value of insulin to be delivered to the patient;
providing the data representative of the reference glycemic level based on data representative of the reference glycemic level in the absence of meals and data representative of a foreseen variation in the expected glycemic level due to data representative of a further fraction of the meal that the patient will consume;
providing, based on the data representative of a further fraction of the meal that the patient will consume after a time interval, a second insulin variation value for compensating the data representative of a further fraction of the meal that the patient will consume;
providing, from an empirical model block, based on the data representative of a further fraction of the meal that the patient will consume and the second insulin variation value, the data representative of the foreseen variation in expected glycemic level due to the data representative of a further fraction of the meal that the patient will consume.

Abstract
A method (400) controls the delivery of insulin in a diabetic patient (P) based on data (d) representative of at least a fraction of a meal (m(k+i)) that the patient (P) will consume. The method provides from a block (R) representative of conventional therapy or open loop rule that the patient (P) is subject to, based on the data (d) representative of at least a fraction of the meal (m(k+i)), a reference insulin value (u0). The method is also based on data representative of the difference between input data (ŷ), a reference glycemic level, and feedback data (yCGM) representative of the glycemic level detected in the patient (P). A control module (301; 401) provides a value of insulin (i) to be delivered to the patient (P) based on the various representative data.
