Subject-Conditioned Glucose Forecasting in Type-1 Diabetes

Abstract

Accurate forecasting of blood glucose concentration is key in the management of Type 1 Diabetes, facilitating early detection of adverse glycemic events and supporting timely therapeutic interventions. Despite recent advances in glucose prediction, most existing approaches rely on population-level representations or implicit personalization strategies that fail to deliver effective subject-specific forecasts. In this work, we propose Subject-Conditioned Glucose Prediction (SCGP), a novel multimodal deep learning architecture conceived for personalized blood glucose prediction. SCGP conditions glucose predictions based on observed glucose data and a compact subject-specific representation learned from contextual information. By explicitly separating subject characterization from glucose dynamics modeling and avoiding early fusion of heterogeneous inputs, the proposed framework effectively captures inter-subject variability while preserving robust and reliable temporal modeling. Experiments on two state-of-the-art benchmark datasets demonstrate that SCGP consistently improves forecasting performance, enabling reliable detection of adverse glycemic events across multiple prediction horizons, highlighting the benefits of explicit subject conditioning for personalized diabetes management.
