Fractional-order PID feedback synthesis controller including some external influences on insulin and glucose monitoring by Kottakkaran Sooppy Nisar, Muhammad Farman, Khadija Jamil, Saba Jamil, Evren Hincal

“…As beta-cell mass increases in the presence of adrenaline, the system remains highly responsive to rising blood glucose and falling insulin levels, driven by the hormone’s suppressive effects. The key advantage of this model is its ability to incorporate these physiological stressors and use fractional-order derivatives to describe the nonlocal dynamics within the system. …”
