Diabetes is a severe, enduring disorder with a huge impact on the existence and health of individuals and the people around them. It happens due to insufficient production of insulin in human body. After a thorough research on this disease, it can be said that diagnosing diabetes at the early stage can help patients to control it and also knowing the probability of having the disease can be useful to the patients for taking necessary steps. So, for the prediction of this disease, a different approach has been taken which is developing a mathematical equation. To develop this equation, some basic medical information of a person have been used as parameters. Using this equation, 80% accuracy has been achieved. Three machine learning algorithms have been used: Logistic Regression, Support Vector Machine (SVM) and K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) on the dataset to verify the credibility of this equation. The accuracy attained for Logistic Regression, SVM and KNN is 86%, 91% and 83% respectively.
