TL;DR
The paper tackles autonomous insulin delivery for diabetes by framing continuous glucose monitoring and maintenance as a closed-loop control problem. It deploys Differentiable Predictive Control (DPC) to learn a neural policy $u_k = \pi_{\theta}(g_k,R)$ that approximates an explicit MPC within a differentiable glucose-insulin model, enabling offline end-to-end optimization. The framework, NeuralCGMM, uses a white-box state-space model $g_{k+1} = A g_k + B u_k + E d_k$, outputs $u_k$ via a neural network, and optimizes a multi-term loss balancing tracking, smoothness, and constraints, via SGD. Experiments on synthetic data show the policy adapts to changing constraints and maintains glucose within reference ranges while respecting safety limits, suggesting potential for scalable, personalized CGM maintenance that requires clinical validation.
Abstract
Precise glucose level monitoring is critical for people with diabetes to avoid serious complications. While there are several methods for continuous glucose level monitoring, research on maintenance devices is limited. To mitigate the gap, we provide a novel neural control system for continuous glucose monitoring and management that uses differential predictive control. Our approach, led by a sophisticated neural policy and differentiable modeling, constantly adjusts insulin supply in real-time, thereby improving glucose level optimization in the body. This end-to-end method maximizes efficiency, providing personalized care and improved health outcomes, as confirmed by empirical evidence.
