This paper considers an accurate and efficient diabetes detection scheme via machine learning. It uses the science of data mining and pattern matching in its diabetes diagnosis process. It implements and evaluates 4 machine learning classification algorithms, namely Decision tree, Random Forest, XGBoost and LGBM. Then selects and introduces the one that performs the best towards its objective using multi-criteria decision-making methods. Its results reveal that Random Forest algorithm outperformed other algorithms with higher accuracy. It also examines the details of features that have a greater effect on diabetes detection. Considering that diabetes is one of the most deadly, disabling, and costly diseases observed today, its alarmingly increasing rates, and difficulty of its diagnosis because of many vague signs and symptoms, utilization of such approach can help doctors increase accuracy of their diagnosis and treatment schemes. Hence, this paper uses the science of data mining as a tool to gather and analyze existing data on diabetes and help doctors with its diagnosis and treatment process. The main contribution of this paper can therefore be its applied nature to an essential field and accuracy of its pattern recognition via several analytical approaches.
