Abstract
The invention relates to a method and a device for predicting a glycaemic profile of a subject. A multistage algorithm is employed comprising a prediction setting stage specifying a functional space for the prediction and a prediction execution stage specifying a predicted future glycaemic state of the subject in the functional space as a continuous function of time.
