Abstract People with type 1 diabetes (T1D) need exogenous insulin administrations several times a day. The amount of injected insulin is key for maintaining the concentration of blood glucose (BG) within a physiological safe range. According to well-established clinical guidelines, insulin dosing at mealtime is calculated through an empirical formula which, however, does not take advantage of the knowledge of BG trend provided in real-time by continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) sensors. To overcome suboptimal insulin dosage, we recently used machine learning techniques to build two new models, one linear and one nonlinear, which incorporate BG trend information.In this work, we propose an ensemble learning method for mealtime insulin bolus estimation based on dynamic voting, which combines the two models by taking advantage of where each alternative performs better. Being the resulting model black-box, a tool that enables its interpretability was applied to evaluate the contribution of each feature. The proposed model was trained using a synthetic dataset having information on 100 virtual subjects with different mealtime conditions, and its performance was evaluated within a simulated environment.The benefit given by the ensemble method compared to the single models was confirmed by the high time within the target glycemic range, and the trade-off reached in terms of time spent below and above this range. Moreover, the model interpretation pointed out the key role played by the information on BG dynamics in the estimation of insulin dosage.
