Abstract

BACKGROUND: In recent years, numerous methods have been introduced to predict glucose levels using machine-learning techniques on patients' daily behavioral and continuous glucose data. Nevertheless, a definitive consensus remains elusive regarding modeling the combined effects of diet and exercise for optimal glucose prediction. A notable challenge is the propensity for observational patient datasets from uncontrolled environments to overfit due to skewed feature distributions of target behaviors; for instance, diabetic patients seldom engage in high-intensity exercise post-meal.
