Artificial intelligence techniques, including fuzzy logic, neural networks, and reinforcement learning, are effective tools for automating blood glucose control and prediction in diabetes management, improving glycemic outcomes and reducing hypoglycemia risk compared to traditional methods or manual management.
For patients using insulin pumps or continuous glucose monitors (CGM), AI-driven 'artificial pancreas' systems can automatically adjust insulin delivery based on real-time glucose readings. This technology has been shown in multiple studies to improve blood sugar control and reduce dangerous low-blood-sugar events, particularly at night, compared to standard pump therapy. Patients should consult their endocrinologist about AI-integrated devices if they struggle with manual dose calculations or frequent hypoglycemia.
AI has played a key role in the recognition of these systems as routine therapeutic aids for patients with diabetes... The results confirmed a reduced rate of nocturnal hypoglycemia and superior glycemic control in comparison with insulin pump treatment.
Why this rating
The paper reviews 141 studies, many of which are randomized clinical trials or validated simulations, showing consistent positive results for AI controllers.

- Initial treatment for type 2 diabetes should be a combination of metformin and either an SGLT-2 inhibitor or a GLP-1 receptor agonist to achieve cardiorenal protection, rather than monotherapy or older agents like sulfonylureas.Strong
- For patients with specific monogenic obesity syndromes (leptin deficiency, POMC/PCSK1/LEPR mutations), targeted pharmacotherapy (recombinant leptin or setmelanotide) is highly effective and should be prioritized, unlike in polygenic obesity.Strong
- Continued weekly administration of 2.4 mg subcutaneous semaglutide prevents weight regain and promotes further weight loss in adults with overweight or obesity, whereas switching to placebo results in significant weight regain.Strong
