How does AIDA actually work?
Explained simply – AIDA contains a model of glucose-insulin interaction in diabetes. This is used to generate the simulations. In addition AIDA incorporates a simple knowledge-based system which provides suggestions about things to simulate next. For more detailed information about how AIDA works – check out the AIDA Technical Guide. Return to the Menu 22. I use insulin YYYYYY. As AIDA does not include insulin YYYYYY, is it of any use to me? Yes. It is a sometimes expressed view that if AIDA cannot simulate an exact diabetes regimen for a particular individual – then it is not possible to be used by that person. Similarly it is sometimes stated that without a particular feature (e.g. Humalog / lispro, exercise, certain pump regimens, etc) the program cannot be used by that individual. This actually rather misses the point of the program.

The aim / intention of AIDA is not to exactly reproduce an individual’s own regimen and therefore provide individual blood glucose predictions and sim
