Abstract

OBJECTIVE: For the patients who are suffering from type 2 diabetes, blood glucose level could be affected by multiple factors. An accurate estimation of the trajectory of blood glucose is crucial in clinical decision making. Frequent glucose measurement serves as a good source of data to train machine learning models for prediction purposes. This study aimed at using machine learning methods to predict blood glucose for type 2 diabetic patients. We investigated various parameters influencing blood glucose, as well as determined the most effective machine learning algorithm in predicting blood glucose.
