Abstract

Excessively high blood glucose levels lead to diabetes, a condition that can be better managed with early detection, resulting in a longer life and improved health. Machine learning models are essential tools in diagnosing diabetes, especially when trained on appropriate and relevant datasets. In this study, a combination of ensemble methods and nine distinct machine learning algorithms were utilized to develop a predictive model for diabetes diagnosis based on a publicly accessible dataset. Among the models tested, the Random Forest algorithm demonstrated superior performance, achieving the highest prediction accuracy of 99.75%. This highlights the effectiveness of ensemble-based approaches in enhancing diagnostic precision and underscores the potential of machine learning in supporting clinical decision-making for diabetes detection. The study emphasizes the value of data-driven techniques in improving the early identification and management of diabetes. A comparison with existing studies highlights the strength and superiority of our approach. Additionally, a user-friendly web application has been developed using the best-performing model, providing users with diabetes predictions and relevant educational videos.
