Abstract: The present invention relates to an insulin delivery system for Type-1 diabetic patients. The present invention delivery system comprises an adaptive PID (Proportional Integral Derivative) controller and several metaheuristic computations including PSO (Particle-Swarm-Optimization), ACO (Ant-Colony-Optimization), FPO (Flower Pollination-Optimization), and GWO (Grey-Wolf-Optimization) for controlling insulin delivery in a DT-1 patient. These computing techniques improve the parameters of the adaptive controller, and a comparison is made by taking both step and impulsive reactions into account. The objective functions integral-of-square-error and integral-of-time absolute error are assessed here. In comparison to other conventional and non-conventional PID controllers, the simulation results show that insulin delivery can be better regulated by utilizing the adaptive GWO-PID controller in expressions of rise time, settling time, and maximum overshoot. The innovative aspect of the planned work is to design hardware that delivers the optimal dose of insulin infusion to stabilize blood sugar levels for individuals with DT-1 in a short period of time. Diabetes type-1 (DT-1) is a chronic disease, and it is commonly known as juvenile diabetes or insulin-dependent diabetes. In this circumstance, the pancreas either produces little or no insulin. The key impartial of this system is to insert sufficient insulin in terms of stability and speed for controlling glucose concentration in a DT-1 patient.

The above prior art provide the solution of the insulin delivery problem. The usage of a fuzzy logic-based controller was suggested by Farahmand et al. [1] to control insulin infusion, and it was tested using the BMM model, the Tolic model, and the meal disruption. Numerous cutting-edge controllers are used by researchers in addition to the conventional PID controller [2, 3]. For managing Blood Sugar Levels, a variety of computing methods can be applied [4, 5]. These techniques are used to fine-tune the controller's parameters and control behavior [6]. Adaptive PID controller techniques might be applied in these circumstances to identify patients with potentially fatal conditions [7]. The use of metaheuristic optimization techniques is common in intelligent diagnostic systems that aim to improve classification accuracy [8, 9]. In [10], the researcher has focused on the configuration of various control methods to control blood glucose levels in DT-1 patients where the GWO-PID controller provides a promising result with rise time (0.32), settling time (0.983), overshoot (0), and integral-of-square-error-ISE (0.66). In [11], the researcher used a Firefly-PID controller with integral-of-time absolute-error-ITAE (125000), ISE (6431), rise time (0.8526), settling time (482.89), and overshoot (41.88) for glucose control. To enhance the parameters of the conventional PID controller to control the BSL, Parsa [12] presented a contemporary method Grasshopper in the year 2020 and contrasted it with other methods like Elephant Herding and PSO technique. PID controller, which is frequently employed in control systems, is most widely used in IDS (insulin delivery system) control mechanism as shown in Figure 5.
Due to the constraints of the FO-PID tuning, the present invention system focus on tuning only the 3 (Kp, Ki, and Kd) PID parameters. When compared to traditional tuning techniques, adaptive metaheuristic tuning techniques offer improved search efficiency.

The focal objective of the adaptive PID controller is to create a control law u(t) which enables the system to attain the necessary performance as shown in Figure 4.

Detailed Description of the Invention
The present invention relates to an insulin delivery system for Type-1 diabetic patients. The present invention delivery system comprises an adaptive PID (Proportional Integral Derivative) controller and several metaheuristic computations including PSO (Particle-Swarm-Optimization), ACO (Ant-Colony-Optimization), FPO (Flower Pollination-Optimization), and GWO (Grey-Wolf-Optimization) for controlling insulin delivery in a DT-1 patient. These computing techniques improve the parameters of the adaptive controller, and a comparison is made by taking both step and impulsive reactions into account.
On embodiment of the invention propose a step-size strategy that is adaptive and that reduces the step size whenever adequate progress is not obtained. The simulated results demonstrate that the adaptive step-size technique maintains the rapid initial convergence speed of the traditional metaheuristic PID tuning approaches for Insulin Delivery System (IDS) controlling while greatly enhancing the stability and robustness of the reconstruction toward IDS's error. The IDS’s errors are much less when IDS is controlled by the AGWO-PID controller in comparison to the other tuning techniques. The IDS’s stability can be enhanced by the AGWO-PID controller with optimum values of ITAE and ISE respectively. Results from simulations demonstrate that the suggested AGWO-PID controller can guarantee control of the IDS DT-1 system's performance while lowering expenses. The IDS DT-1 system with the AGWO-PID controller also displayed outstanding robustness to variations in hormone and food sensitivity as well as a greater capacity for subject variability adaptation.
To demonstrate the working of the PID method in an insulin delivery system (IDS), we have developed hardware. The circuit diagram for automatic IDS is shown in Figure 1. This hardware will continuously monitor the blood glucose and will deliver the appropriate amount of insulin to the patient's body. The proposed hardware consists of a blood glucose sensor that gives analog signal output, and the output goes to the processor, we have used an Arduino board for processing purposes. The Processing Unit will drive a bipolar stepper motor and a mechanism that converts the rotary motion of the motor to linear motion and will push the injection in a controlled manner.
To design adaptive PID controllers, this paper changes the configuration of traditional metaheuristic tuning techniques during the search by using the optimum step size strategy and also uses the linear simulator for the same and gets more optimized PID controlling parameters for IDS controlling. The responses in Figure 2 and Figure 3 demonstrate that without a controller the IDS is not responding properly to the step input as well as for impulse input respectively. These findings clearly show how unstable the system is, necessitating the use of a controller capable of managing and controlling the IDS in order to provide patients with an adequate supply of insulin. The response of the adaptive metaheuristic PID controllers is much better than the other traditional metaheuristic PID controllers. Simulation results of the adaptive GWO-PID controller beat the other adaptive state-of-the-art controllers.
Detail about Computing Technique: Adaptive Grey-Wolf-Optimization (AGWO):
The headship structure and chasing strategy of grey wolves in nature are modeled in the GWO method. The headship ladder is simulated using four different sorts of grey wolves, including alpha (spearhead), beta (subsidiary), delta, and omega (lowermost). This research work expands the search space as well as search parameters to make the GWO-PID controller an adaptive GWO-PID controller for IDS controlling and get better outcomes than other states of art controllers.
Key-Terms: Wolf i, Population N set of entire i, SS [lb,ub], Location X, The hunting is guided by: Alpha (a) is the first-best answer, beta (ß) is second-best, and delta (d) is third best. As the iterations progress, the component (a) linearly drops from 2 to 0.
Tuning Method for the Automation of IDS:
i. Set all the initial input parameters like FF, N, number of iteration T, coefficient value (a), and number of PID parameters (Kp, Ki, and Kd.).
ii. Start a loop for t=1: N; and Find , , .
Start an inner loop for n=1: number of PID parameters; after that calculate the value of N, , and .
iii. Update the position of N, find the tuned value of Kp, Ki, and Kd., also calculate the new minimized value of IDS’s error.
While neither the minimum IDS’s error condition nor the maximum iterations are met, then start a loop again.
iv. Print the ideal response.
PID controller’s constraints for both FFs (ITAE and ISE) as well as for conventional PID which were found by the offline tuning method (CHR: Chien-Hrones-Reswick) and intelligent tuning methods are given in Table 1, which are calculated through MATLAB simulation environment. Table 2 shows the BSL rating of the insulin system. Simulation Setup of our automatic Insulin Delivery System has been shown in figure 6.

In order to reduce the risks of hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia in DT-1 patients, the present system provides th econtrol measures. The zero-order hold method has been used to obtain the discrete-time transfer function of the insulin delivery system (IDS) and convert it into the continuous s-domain. Models of the IDS have been used to test the effectiveness of both conventional and non-conventional methods. Novel approaches are employed for calculating the PID controller parameters with the usage of the swarm, nature, and population-based methods. When it came to tracking the desired glucose level (70 mg/dL), the developed nonlinear control law i.e. AGWO-PID controller outperformed the linear control strategies. The suggested AGWO method can adaptively adjust the parameters for better performance and has successfully detected the proper dose of insulin in DT-1 patients. The proposed AGWO-PID controller integrates the new time-response specification with the Grey-Wolf-Optimization (GWO) method. The results graphically and analytically are analyzed with time response subjected to a unit step as well as impulse functions, frequency response bode plot, root locus, and Nyquist analysis. There is an optimal improvement in more petite rise time, settling time, maximum overshoot, peak time, average output levels, integral-of-square-error (ISE), integral-of-time absolute error (ITAE), and IDS stability with AGWO-PID controller. Future research may focus on controlling the IDS using adaptive intelligent hybrid controllers.
