Gestational Diabetes Mellitus Prediction Using Machine Learning Algorithms

Globally, gestational diabetes mellitus, or GDM, is the most prevalent illness among individuals during pregnancy. It is a condition in which the body cannot produce enough insulin during pregnancy. Three to eight percent of all pregnant women in the United States of America are diagnosed with gestational diabetes. It is most frequently found in women during pregnancy. This paper investigates the use of various machine learning techniques for GDM prediction. Diabetes may develop as a result of insufficient insulin production by the pancreas or inefficient insulin utilization by the body. Elevated blood sugar, or hyperglycemia, is a major contributing factor to uncontrolled diabetes mellitus and can cause major harm to numerous organ systems in the body, particularly the blood vessels and neurons. Metrics are used to verify the accuracy of different algorithms in machine learning. When analyzing the diabetic data set, a confusion matrix, receiver operating characteristic (ROC), and area under the curve (AUC) scores demonstrate the significance of machine learning techniques. This paper’s goal is to examine various classification algorithms for the very early detection of diabetes based on diverse parameters.
