A BSTRACT Problem Considered: This investigation attempts to design and deploy a bespoke Random Forest model for early rate prediction of Type-II Diabetes utilizing the dataset available from NFHS-5. Methods: Hyperparameter optimization was carried out to boost the performance of a Random Forest algorithm. Missing value treatments and class imbalance problems were done utilizing SMOTE. Accuracy, recall, log loss and ROC-AUC were utilized to test the model’s performance. Results: The accuracy, recall, log loss, and ROC-AUC score were 73.48%, 74.40%, 54.17%, and 81.17%, respectively. The study also indicates that demographic, lifestyle, comorbidities, and specific physiological characteristics significantly influence the prediction of diabetes. Conclusion: Random Forest algorithms are extremely effective with early diabetes detection and could help support the design of focused intervention and policy measures.
