In this work the problem of regulating glycemiain type I diabetic patients is studied by means of a novelimpulsive zone model predictive control. According to the controlobjective of steering the system to an arbitrary desired targetset, weak stability is demonstrated based on a novel dynamiccharacterization of two underlying discrete-time subsystems ofthe original impulsive system. To evaluate the proposed strategy,a new patient model is used. A long-term scenario - includingmeals - are simulated, and the results appear to be satisfactoryas long as every hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia episodes aresuitably controlled/minimized.
