In silico virtual patients and trials offer significant advantages in cost, time and safety for designing effective TGC protocols. However, no such method has been fully validated. This study tests 2 matched cohorts from the Glucontrol trial treated with different protocols. The goal is to validate the ability of in-silico virtual patient models and methods to accurately predict patient-specific and clinical trial glycemic outcomes.
