1. Introduction

Diabetes is a growing health concern affecting millions globally. Using data science, we can analyze

medical records and predict diabetes risk, allowing for early intervention and better healthcare

planning.

2. Problem Statement
The goal of this project is to analyze patient data to identify patterns that

indicate diabetes risk. By studying various health metrics, such as glucose

levels and BMI, we can build predictive models to aid medical professionals in

early diagnosis.

3. Key Questions

1. How do glucose levels impact diabetes risk?

2. Is there a correlation between BMI and diabetes occurrence?

3. Do insulin levels influence diabetes diagnosis?

4. Can age be a determining factor in diabetes risk?

5. Are there any strong predictors of diabetes in the dataset?

4. Data Collection Process

The dataset used for this analysis is the Diabetes Data Set from Kaggle. It

consists of 768 patient records with medical attributes such as glucose levels,

BMI, and insulin measurements. This dataset was chosen for its relevance and

comprehensiveness.

5. Data Preprocessing

5.1 Handling Missing Values

The dataset was checked for missing values, and no missing values were found.

5.2 Removing Duplicates

Duplicate records were identified and removed to ensure data integrity.

5.3 Normalization
Numerical features were normalized using Min-Max Scaling to standardize data values between 0

and 1.

6. Observations and Insights

After preprocessing, the dataset is clean and ready for further analysis. Key

predictors such as glucose levels and BMI may play a crucial role in predicting

diabetes.

7. Conclusion

This project successfully preprocessed the diabetes dataset by handling

missing values, removing duplicates, and scaling numerical data. The cleaned

data is now ready for further analysis, such as building predictive models.
