Linear Matrix Inequality-based Robust Controller design for Type-1 Diabetes Model

Abstract

Abstract This paper investigates the capabilities of a sophisticated robust nonlinear controller designed directly for a widely known and used high-order nonlinear type 1 diabetes (T1DM) model to lessen the dependency from patient compliance and to answer practical requirements such as avoiding hypoglycaemia. The resulting controller can perform adequately in nominal conditions, but expected to keep this performance even in extreme situations, e.g. high carbohydrate intake, rejecting hypoglycaemic episodes.
