    Type 1: Would you be willing to share your diabetic data for research?

    Hi Jullian, and thank you for your interest! I agree, the ones having CGM and insulin pumps already more or less have the solution at hand. However, this solution can always be improved and with the rise of fully automatic (closed loop) systems, there's much to explore. Since I wrote the...

    Type 1: Would you be willing to share your diabetic data for research?

    We do have fully specified hypotheses. I just haven't specified it fully here because I don't want to "give away" a complete MSc. thesis idea. The point is that we are going to do research that could help in the treatment of diabetes, and the more patients we can generalise our models to, the...

    Type 1: Would you be willing to share your diabetic data for research?

    For trying to improve on the performance they got for glucose prediction in this paper, we will indeed need data about carbohydrate intake as well. I realise now that my initial motivation might have been a bit misleading. The 'device' that I described was basically just a way of indicating the...

    No, we would not be able to develop something that performs as good as such a system without knowing things like carbohydrate intake etc. However, we might be able to improve the performance of some of the smaller building blocks of the closed loop systems that are out there. And, I think it...

    You're right. For a super accurate system that basically could automate the process of insulin injections, knowing how many carbs you eat is a must. But it might be possible to develop a system that at least detects the problematic sections in your daily CGM plots and classifies them correctly...

    Type 1: Would you be willing to share your diabetic data for research?

    Thanks! Yes, there are several existing decision support systems. However, this would be more focused on research about what particular machine learning methods are most effective etc., rather than building a complete consumer product. In particular, we aim to investigate the use of recurrent...

    Type 1: Would you be willing to share your diabetic data for research?

    Hi all, Me and a friend are going to do our MSc. thesis next semester. We are both studying computer science and want to explore the possibilities of developing some kind of decision support system to help diabetics with their everyday medical decisions. I have the disease myself and know that...
