Backstepping Glycemic Control of Type 1 Diabetes for Implementation on an Embedded System

Abstract

In this paper a nonlinear control intended for Blood glucose regulation for Type 1 Diabetes patients is considered. The control law is designed using the Lyapunov theory associated with a Kalman filter to estimate the system states. The asymptotic stability of the overall system is theoretically proven. The proposed control scheme will be implemented in a low cost embedded system. The simulation results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed control.
