There are several types of insulin.
\nInsulin Basics
\nThese may cause different fluctuations in blood glucose.

\n

Each individual person uses a different type of insulin.
\nOne way is to perform an individual analysis.

\n

There are cases in the TEST DATA that are not included in the TRAIN DATA.
\nIn such cases, the recognition that the rapid type is used after each meal based on the once-daily continuous type may be an aid in the analysis.

Insulin pump users only use rapid-acting insulin. The pump continuously delivers a set amount of insulin, called basal insulin, throughout the day and night. The pump can also deliver a bolus dose of insulin before meals to control blood sugar spikes.

Thank you for your valuable input! @brianlomeland

\n

It seems that we don't need to consider the type of insulin.
\nHowever, the amount of insulin is important, so I can't dismiss it as an important feature.

Hi @yoshifumimiya, as @brianlomeland says, the participants are insulin pump users so they will only be using one type of rapid-acting insulin across their data, including for both bolus and basal doses (e.g. meals and background doses).

\n

The exact insulin may vary between participants, but in the UK I believe the two most commonly used insulins are NovoRapid and FIASP. The activity profiles of each insulin do vary slightly although will also vary depending on numerous other participant-specific factors, although these differences are minor. Information on the exact type of insulin isn't available in this competition to reduce the complexity and force approaches to be adaptable to other types of rapid-acting insulin or when that information isn't available.
