To be effective in type 1 diabetes, algorithms must be able to limit hyperglycemic excursions resulting from medical and emotional stress. We tested an algorithm that estimates insulin sensitivity at regular intervals and continually adjusts gain factors of a fading memory proportional-derivative (FMPD) algorithm. In order to assess whether the algorithm could appropriately adapt and limit the degree of hyperglycemia, we administered oral hydrocortisone repeatedly to create insulin resistance. We compared this indirect adaptive proportional-derivative (APD) algorithm to the FMPD algorithm, which used fixed gain parameters. Each subject with type 1 diabetes (n = 14) was studied on two occasions, each for 33 h. The APD algorithm consistently identified a fall in insulin sensitivity after hydrocortisone. The gain factors and insulin infusion rates were appropriately increased, leading to satisfactory glycemic control after adaptation (premeal glucose on day 2, 148 ± 6 mg/dl). After sufficient time was allowed for adaptation, the late postprandial glucose increment was significantly lower than when measured shortly after the onset of the steroid effect. In addition, during the controlled comparison, glycemia was significantly lower with the APD algorithm than with the FMPD algorithm. No increase in hypoglycemic frequency was found in the APD-only arm. An afferent system of duplicate amperometric sensors demonstrated a high degree of accuracy; the mean absolute relative difference of the sensor used to control the algorithm was 9.6 ± 0.5%. We conclude that an adaptive algorithm that frequently estimates insulin sensitivity and adjusts gain factors is capable of minimizing corticosteroid-induced stress hyperglycemia.
