Diabetes is a major metabolic disease which affects the entire body system. It becomes a lifelong disease if not handled properly in the early stages of diagnosis. People produce a hormone called insulin. It is a hormone which is used to convert glucose to energy. People suffering from diabetes type 2 produce this hormone, but according to doctors are not able to use it as well as they should. Data Mining tools can be used to mine the famous Indian Pima diabetes for more accurate prediction of diabetes. Many attempts have been made by researchers to improve the efficiency of various models. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2020.
