Abstract:

Diabetes is a chronic autoimmune disease affecting the blood glucose concentration due to a lack of the hormone insulin. The recent reports released by The World Health Organization say that it affects about 100 million people worldwide. People with diabetes have to constantly control their blood glucose levels and provide insulin to avoid situations with higher glucose levels. Multiple factors influence that level and should be monitored to help them to prevent such cases. Nowadays, Continuous Glucose Monitoring – CGM – systems provide such functionality. They monitor the patient blood glucose level by 24 hours per day, enhancing that information with additional data gathered with wearable sensors. This paper presents the BGDCaLP - Blood Glucose Data Collector and Level Predictor - solution that provides mechanisms to collect blood glucose level data and predict future patient levels based on the provided data.
