Classification of Diabetes Types using Machine Learning

learning algorithms have aided health workers (including doctors) in the processing, analysis, and diagnosis of medical problems, as well as the detection of disease patterns and other patient data. Diabetes mellitus (DM), commonly referred to as diabetes, is a gathering of a syndrome issue that is portrayed by high glucose levels in the blood over a drawn-out period. It is a long-term illness that is a great threat to humanity and causes death. Most of the existing machine learning algorithms used for the classification and prediction of diabetes suffer from embodying redundant or inessential medical procedures that cause complications and wastage of time and resources. The absence of a correct diagnosis scheme, deficiency of economic means, and a general lack of awareness represent the main reasons for these negative effects. Hence, preventing the sickness altogether through early detection may doubtless cut back a considerable burden on the economy and aid the patient in diabetes management. This study developed diabetes classification using machine learning techniques that will minimize the aforementioned drawbacks in the prediction of diabetes systems. Decision tree classifiers, logistic regression, random forest, and support vector machines are all examples of predictive algorithms that were tested in this paper. 1009 records of data set were obtained from the Diabetes dataset of Abelvikas, Data World. We used a confusion matrix to visualize the performance evaluation of the classifiers. The experimental result shows that the four machine learning algorithms perform well. However, Random Forest outperforms the other three, with a prediction accuracy of 100% and has a better prediction level when compared with others and existing work.
