Abstract
The present paper gives a description of the Diabetes Advisory System- (DIAS), and the evaluation results obtained so far. DIAS is a decision support system for the management of insulin dependent diabetes. The core of the system is a compartment model of the human carbohydrate me tabolism implemented as a causal probabilistic network (CPN or Bayesia n network), which gives it the ability to handle the uncertainty, for example, in blood glucose measurements or physiological variations in glucose metabolism. The evaluation results suggest that, at least in o ur hands, DIAS can generate advice that is safe and of a quality that is at least comparable to what is available from experienced clinician s.
