Abstract
The exemplary embodiments may modify a glucose cost component of the cost function of the control loop of an insulin delivery device to compensate for persistent positive low level glucose excursions relative to a target glucose level. The exemplary embodiments may enable use of different glucose cost component functions for different glucose levels of the user. These glucose cost component functions may be employed in piecewise fashion with a different piece being applied for each respective range of glucose level values for the user. The final glucose cost function for calculating the glucose cost component may be a weighted combination of a piecewise glucose cost function and a weighted standard cost function (such as a quadratic function). The weights may reflect the magnitude and/or persistence of glucose excursions relative to a target glucose level.
