The method commonly used is invasive and has various weaknesses, but it is more accurate than non-invasive methods. This research aims to develop a method to increase the accuracy of non-invasive estimation of blood glucose levels using photoplethysmography (PPG) signals. The proposed method is to carry out stratified modeling-machine learning. The tested classifiers were support vector machines (SVM), KNN, Naïve Bayes, decision tree, and neural network. The prediction model used simple linear, logarithmic, second-order polynomial, exponential, and power regression. Applying stratified modeling using linear regression in the non-diabetes stratum and logarithmic regression in the diabetes stratum obtained a mean absolute relative difference (MARD) value of 4.5%, root mean square error (RMSE) of 18.9 mg/dl, Pearson correlation 0.985 and Clarke error grid analysis (CEGA) 96% in region A and 4% in region B. The implementation of stratification reveals a marked improvement in efficacy, manifested as a reduction in the MARD by 77.83%, a decrease in the RMSE by 51.91%, an enhancement in the Pearson correlation by 0.065, and a CEGA by 100% in regions A and B, thereby being clinically acceptable. Implementing a stratified modeling-machine learning approach can improve the accuracy of non-invasive blood glucose level estimates.  \nKEYWORDS  \nblood glucose non-invasively, machine learning, photoplethysmography (PPG), classification, regression  \n1 INTRODUCTION  \nThe International Diabetes Federation (IDF) identifies diabetes as one of the top ten causes of adult mortality.
