This document discusses using data mining techniques to predict diabetes. It begins with an introduction to diabetes and what causes high blood sugar. It then discusses how data mining of patient purchase histories can show connections to medication adherence. Various data mining techniques are explored, including decision trees and the Apriori algorithm, to analyze medical data and extract patterns to improve diagnosis and treatment recommendations for patients. The goal is to help doctors and patients choose the most effective and lowest cost treatment options based on analyses of large diabetes datasets.
