A mathematical model of type 1 diabetes (T1D) patient decision-making can be used to simulate, in silico, realistic glucose/insulin dynamics, for several days, in a variety of subjects who take therapeutic actions (e.g. insulin dosing) driven by either self-monitoring blood glucose (SMBG) or continuous glucose monitoring (CGM).
