abstract = "Insulin therapy for Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) has several
ramifications with different degrees of automation. The
advances in sensors and monitoring devices have led to
an increasing availability of data. Additionally,
machine learning algorithms usage has sprung, allowing
the development of models for Blood Glucose (BG)
forecasting with relative ease. Nevertheless, BG
forecasting is still a challenging task for prediction
horizons beyond 30 min and, even more so, with missing
or erroneous data, which is a common burden in the
field. This thesis is devoted to generate machine
learning models that forecast either BG levels using
regression algorithms or postprandial hypoglycemia
using classification algorithms. The application of
these models range from Multiple Daily Injections (MDI)
therapy up to Sensor Augmented Pump (SAP) therapy.",
