Abstract
Diabetes is a disorder of the metabolism where the amount of glucose in the blood is too high because the body cannot produce or properly use insulin. In order to achieve more effective diabetes clinic management, data mining techniques have been applied to a patient database. In an attempt to improve the efficiency of data mining algorithms, a feature selection technique ReliefF is used with the data, which can rank the important attributes affecting Type 2 diabetes control. After selecting suitable attributes, classification techniques are applied to the data to predict how well the patients are controlling their condition. Preliminary results have been confirmed by the clinician and this provides optimism that data mining can be used to generate prediction models.
