State Feedback Control of the Glucose-Insulin System

  • Chapter

Abstract

The paper investigates the problem of tracking a desired level of plasma glucose concentration. The model for the glucose-insulin system considered here, and recently published, belongs to the class of single-distributed delay models. The control law is obtained according to the feedback linearization theory. Both the cases of hyperglycemic and hypoglycemic patients have been considered. Simulations support theoretical results and show the physical reliability of the approach proposed.
