A method for estimating the amount of carbohydrates needed by a DP-1 during a specific session of physical activity, comprises the following steps: defining of working constants and standard parameters; introducing of patient and therapy specific parameters, calculating of patient specific reference curves for a percentage carbohydrates consumption (% CHO); scheduling a training session; estimating the amount of carbohydrates (CHO) to be eaten before said physical activity; updating in real time the residual carbohydrates still available during said physical activity; and estimating the amount of carbohydrates to be restored after said physical activity.

Noise filtering ( ) of a signal (x) is effected by estimating ( ) a type of noise in the signal (x) and enabling ( ) one of at least two noise filters ( ), the enabled noise filter ( ) being a most suitable filter for the estimated type of noise. An approximation of the noise (z) in the signal (x) is obtained by computing ( ) a difference between the signal (x) and a noise-filtered ( ) version of the signal (x). A kurtosis of the noise is used as a metric for estimating the type of noise. If the estimated type of noise is long-tailed noise, a median filter ( ) is enabled to filter the signal. If the estimated type of noise is Gaussian noise or contaminated Gaussian noise, a spatio-temporal filter ( ) is enabled to filter the signal.
