Abstract | Motivated by the increasing number of diabetes patients around the globe, we have created an algorithm that predicts blood glucose trends and levels for the period of time after a meal intake. This information will help both type-I and type-II diabetic patients properly predict their bodies' effect to food intake and avoid dangerous hypoglycemic and hyperglycemic states. Most of the long-term health problems (e.g. nephropathy, retinopathy, and neuropathy) result from sustained hyperglycemia and frequent blood glucose excursions in time due to inaccurate insulin infusions; this is a direct result of a misjudgement of dosage or from poor patient compliance. Some devices already developed, such as one time glucose meters and continuous glucose monitors, lack information diabetics need to fully understand glucose level trends, such as an increasing or decreasing glucose pattern and the rate of change. Patients must therefore estimate their insulin dose based on their present glucose reading and estimated food intake, which cumbersome and inaccurate. This is where our algorithm will help diabetic patients. Our algorithm differs from other developed devices and models (Lehman and Deutsch, 1992) in that it predicts insulin dosage based on the predicted peak blood glucose level just after the meal-intake. Since we are dealing with human body, it is quite difficult to model how each organ will behave, thus a number of parameters need to be collected to calibrate the model for each individual. In the future, this predictive system could be integrated with an insulin pump that will automatically inject insulin into the body as prescribed by our algorithm. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
