Diabetes, a chronic metabolic disorder affecting millions worldwide, can lead to severe complications if not diagnosed and managed promptly. This work investigates the use of ensemble models for the accurate prediction of diabetes, emphasizing their applicability in improving healthcare outcomes. The research evaluates various ensemble techniques, including Random Forest, AdaBoost, Gradient Boosting, Bagging, XGBoost, Voting, Stacking, CatBoost, and Passive Aggressive classifiers, using performance metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score. The methodology incorporates robust data preprocessing steps, such as feature scaling, correlation analysis, and handling class imbalances, ensuring data quality and model reliability. Among the models, Random Forest achieved the highest accuracy (97.67%), closely followed by Stacking (97.00%). This work also includes a correlation heatmap to highlight significant predictors like glucose levels and BMI, demonstrating their critical role in diabetes risk assessment. The findings underscore the effectiveness of ensemble techniques in achieving high predictive accuracy and balanced performance, enabling early and accurate diabetes detection. This research highlights the transformative potential of machine learning in healthcare, providing a scalable framework for proactive disease management and personalized care.
