Diabetes occurs among different age group populations due to insulin usage in the body. The pancreas produces insulin to convert the food into glucose, and it is observed by the blood cells to produce energy. In some people, the pancreas produces less insulin, and they are called type I diabetic patients. Hence, those people are suffering from type I diabetes and are advised to take insulin regularly through injection. But they don’t know the exact quantity of insulin to be taken on their day-to-day basis. The consumption level of insulin varies for every individual. The single individual consuming insulin also varies every day based on their regular activities, food, stress level, exercises, etc. Only through a regular blood test the patients may know the insulin level in their body. The patient needs the advice of physicians every day to change the consumption of insulin. It is difficult to get an appointment with the physicians to meet and know their blood glucose level and the quantity of insulin required for their bodies. Thus, there is a need for a computer-aided diagnosis system to solve this struggle among type I diabetic patients. By using the proposed system, hospitals could reduce the inpatients during critical times, while they visit the physicians only for testing the insulin level. The proposed IoT-based machine learning algorithm is suitable to efficiently handle the condition to predict the glucose level of the human body and suggest the quantity of insulin required for the diabetic patient. The patients are advised to access the system from anywhere without a physician’s help. The proposed technique is accurately predicting the required insulin level to assist diabetic patients. Insulin conception varies among the patients when they are fasting, after meals, and during sickness. First, patients should know their type of insulin. The patient must check the blood glucose level through the glucometer, and this has been recorded in the system to track the status. The noninvasive Dexcom G4 platinum sensor is used to update the patient’s glucose level reading every minute, and it will be displayed in an android device application. The patient’s glucose level is compared with the parameters in the dataset under different categories. In order to reliably predict the dosage of insulin needed for the patient on a specific day, the machine learning algorithm found an exact pattern-matching criterion. The graphical user interface collects the daily activities of the patients and analyzes their previous history of insulin consumption to make a wise decision on insulin calculation. The statistical results are projected through the graph which denotes the insulin dosage conceived by the patients on a particular period. This helps the physicians to suggest quick solutions during the time of admit due to any other illness in a hospital. The historical data enables the physicians and patients to act smoother in handling the diabetic disease. The proposed system improves the economy of the country by saving the life of diabetic patients.
