Taking advantage of the model - which features real life properties of diabetes patients that some other popular models do not - the proposed control ensures the stability under moderate-tosevere disturbances. A long-term scenario - including meals - are simulated, and the results appear to be satisfactory as long as every hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia episodes are suitably controlled.application/pdfenginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessType I diabetes model, zone model predictive control, impulsive systemsinfo:eu-repo/semantics/bookPartN/Ahttps://doi.org/10.1016/C2018-0-01351-1
