Adaptive and personalized model predictive control (MPC) algorithms that explicitly consider insulin dosing constraints are necessary to prevent overdose-induced hypoglycemia in type 1 diabetes. A personalized plasma insulin concentration (PIC) estimator is integrated with adaptive models to characterize the temporal dynamics of PIC and blood glucose concentration (BGC). The dynamic profile trajectories of the PIC and BGC are used to adapt the control problems and constraints on-line to accurately reflect the concurrent metabolic state of the individuals and improve glucose regulation. The adaptive MPC algorithm, explicitly considering the PIC in the insulin dose computations, is demonstrated to effectively control BGC without any manual user input on meal information while avoiding excessive insulin administration that can cause hypoglycemia. Simulation results demonstrate the ability of the proposed approach with an average 71.14 % of time spent in the target range (BGC ? [70, 180]mg/dL).
