Taking advantage of the impulsive version of the model?which features real-life properties of diabetes patients that some other popular models do not?the given control guarantees the stability under moderate-to-severe plant-model mismatch and disturbances. Long-term scenarios?including meals and physiological parameter variations?are simulated and the results are satisfactory as every hyperglycemic and hypoglycemic episodes are suitably controlled. ER -
