In the last two decades, developing countries are facing heavy increase in diabetes among their population that is leading to other severe diseases. Hence, there is a great need to develop some effective prediction methods to prevent diabetes. In this paper an attempt has been made to develop Firefly-BAT (FFBAT) optimized Rule Based Fuzzy Logic (RBFL) prediction algorithm for diabetes. The algorithm has two main steps. First, Locality Preserving Projections (LPP) algorithm is used for feature reduction and then classification of diabetes is done by means of RBFL classifier. LPP algorithm has been used to identify the related attributes and then the fuzzy rules are produced from RBFL. The rules are optimized using FFBAT algorithm. Next, the fuzzy system is designed with the help of optimized fuzzy rules and membership functions that will classify the diabetes data. FFBAT is the optimization algorithm which combines the features of BAT and Firefly (FF) optimization techniques. The experiment analysis shows that the RBFL-FFBAT algorithm outperforms the existing approaches.
