This book presents closed-loop blood glucose control in a simple manner, which includes the hardware and "software" components that make up the control system. It provides examples on how mathematical models are formulated as well as the control algorithms that stem from mathematical exercises. The book also describes the basic physiology of blood glucose regulation during fasting and meal from a functional level.
