DrCORRECT: An Algorithm for the Preventive Administration of Postprandial Corrective Insulin Boluses in Type 1 Diabetes Management.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In type 1 diabetes therapy, precise tuning of postprandial corrective insulin boluses (CIBs) is crucial to mitigate hyperglycemia without inducing dangerous hypoglycemic events. Several heuristic formulas accounting for continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) trend have been proposed in the literature. However, these formulas suggest a lot of quantized CIB adjustments, and they lack personalization.

Method

drCORRECT algorithm proposed in this work employs a patient-specific time parameter and the "dynamic risk" (DR) measure to determine postprandial CIB suggestion. The expected benefits include the reduction of time in hyperglycemia, thanks to the preventive action exploited through DR. drCORRECT has been assessed retrospectively vs the literature methods proposed by
