For this purpose, this research paper proposes and develops control algorithms using an intelligent predictive control model, which is based on a UVA\/Padova metabolic simulator. The primary objective of the designed control laws is to provide an automatic blood glucose control in insulin-dependent patients so as to improve their life quality and to reduce the need of an extremely demanding self-management plan. Various linear and nonlinear control algorithms have been explored and implemented on the estimated model. Linear techniques include the Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) and Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR), and nonlinear control strategy includes the Sliding Mode Control (SMC), which are implemented in this research work for continuous monitoring of glucose levels. Performance comparison based on simulation results demonstrated that SMC proved to be most efficient in terms of regulating glucose profile to a reference level of 70 mg\/dL compared to the classical linear techniques. A brief comparison is presented between the linear techniques (PID and LQR), and nonlinear technique (SMC) for analysis purposes proving the efficacy of the design.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s22207773","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,14]],"date-time":"2022-10-14T01:44:13Z","timestamp":1665711853000},"page":"7773","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["An Intelligent Model-Based Effective Approach for Glycemic Control in Type-1 Diabetes"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"Ali","family":"Khaqan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical Engineering, COMSATS University Islamabad, Islamabad 45550, Pakistan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2133-5286","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ali","family":"Nauman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Information and Communication Engineering, Yeungnam University, Gyeongsan 38541, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sana","family":"Shuja","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical Engineering, COMSATS University Islamabad, Islamabad 45550, Pakistan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6113-123X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tahir","family":"Khurshaid","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical Engineering, Yeungnam University, Gyeongsan 38541, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ki-Chai","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical Engineering, Yeungnam University, Gyeongsan 38541, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"47","DOI":"10.1177\/1932296817747617","article-title":"Risk of hypoglycemia during insulin infusion directed by paper protocol versus electronic glycemic management system in critically ill patients at a large academic medical center","volume":"12","author":"Rabinovich","year":"2018","journal-title":"J.
