Biological systems are highly nonlinear and time-dependent, and also very individual! People have been trying learning techniques in glucose control since the early 2000s, and have only seen limited success in very controlled scenarios. I think a simple neural net would fall short of catching all that complexity, at least using the current architectures

Yes. I have celiac disease and I know people report following a strict gluten free diet for a whole year or more before they start to feel better. For me, I never did feel better, but blood tests show that certain celiac-related antibodies have returned to normal levels.

That's a very delayed and weak signal.
