The American Diabetes Association (ADA) “Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes” includes the ADA's current clinical practice recommendations and is intended to provide the components of diabetes care, general treatment goals and guidelines, and tools to evaluate quality of care. Members of the ADA Professional Practice Committee, a multidisciplinary expert committee (https://doi.org/10.2337/dc21-SPPC), are responsible for updating the Standards of Care annually, or more frequently as warranted. For a detailed description of ADA standards, statements, and reports, as well as the evidence-grading system for ADA's clinical practice recommendations, please refer to the Standards of Care Introduction (https://doi.org/10.2337/dc21-SINT).

“…If abnormally high BG levels are present after the meal, the patient may take an additional bolus, called a correction bolus, to bring back the BG concentration in the safe range. Patients are instructed to calculate the dose of insulin boluses by themselves, either manually or with the help of a software/app called a bolus calculator (BC) [ 4 , 5 ], which usually adopts a simple equation that includes some patient-specific parameters to personalize a bolus computation. These parameters, as well as the basal insulin dose, are established by an expert (e.g., diabetologist or certified diabetes educator), to achieve the best fit for a patient’s insulin requirements.…”

Wearable continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) sensors are revolutionizing the treatment of type 1 diabetes (T1D). These sensors provide in real-time, every 1–5 min, the current blood glucose concentration and its rate-of-change, two key pieces of information for improving the determination of exogenous insulin administration and the prediction of forthcoming adverse events, such as hypo-/hyper-glycemia. The current research in diabetes technology is putting considerable effort into developing decision support systems for patient use, which automatically analyze the patient’s data collected by CGM sensors and other portable devices, as well as providing personalized recommendations about therapy adjustments to patients. Due to the large amount of data collected by patients with T1D and their variety, artificial intelligence (AI) techniques are increasingly being adopted in these decision support systems. In this paper, we review the state-of-the-art methodologies using AI and CGM sensors for decision support in advanced T1D management, including techniques for personalized insulin bolus calculation, adaptive tuning of bolus calculator parameters and glucose prediction.

“…For insulin users, an insulin dose calculator has been developed to evaluate the amount of carbohydrates in a meal and provide an insulin dose based thereon [37]. In addition, for the convenience of insulin users, a digital insulin pen that supports automatic detection of insulin type, the fine adjustment of insulin dosage, and a notification function for injection time and hypoglycemia was released [38].…”
