<![CDATA[Diabetes mellitus is one of the deadliest disease and it is increasing in occurrence through the world. This can be prevented by conducting early diagnosis and treatment. However, in developing countries, less than half of people with diabetes are diagnosed correctly which lead to lose of human lives. In this Big Data era, medical databases have enormous quantities of data about their patients. But this medical data may contain noise and a lot of useless information which may mislead the expert in making a decision for medical diagnosis. Data mining is a technique to that is very effective for medical applications for identifying patterns and extracting useful information for databases. This paper proposed a data mining approach using an ensemble blending method to tackle a diabetes prediction problem in Pima Indian Diabetes Dataset. We proposed a blending ensemble classifier approach using a combination of Decision Tree and Logistic Regression as base classifiers, and Support Vector Machine as a top blender classifier. Our approach reached accuracy of 81% and F1-score of 0.81 proves to be higher when compared with basic classifier without combination. Index Terms—diabetes, ensemble, data mining]]>
