Background and Aims
For individuals with Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is of eminence importance to avoid hypo- and hyperglycemic events. The availability of long glucose time-series along with powerful AI methods allowed the development of glucose prediction algorithms. Nonetheless open issues remain such as prediction time-delays, amount of history needed, and how heterogeneous and sparse diabetes information affect the performance.
Method
In this study, we utilized data from 100 individuals with T1D provided by the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. The dataset provides pump settings, sensor outputs (e.g. insulin-rates, continuous glucose monitoring- CGM) and conceptual information such as age, years of diabetes. To mitigate the adverse impact of large inter-patient variability, we propose a training scheme based on gradual fine-tuning. Initially, the novel AI-model is trained on all data and subsequently fine-tuned over groups with shared characteristics to individual patient-level. The individuals with T1D are assigned to groups based on similarity measures defined using glucose variability indices. For each individual, an ensemble of five dedicated sequence-to-sequence LSTM networks is used. The ensemble uses CGM data, bolus dose and meal intake as input and outputs blood glucose predictions 30 min ahead in time.
Results
As shown in Table 1 the root-mean-square-error (RMSE), mean-average-error (MAE), and time-lag used as performance measures for the various training schemes.
