Abstract
Background: Diabetes Mellitus is a metabolic disorder in which the balance of various trace elements in the body is affected. This study was done to find out the relationship between diabetes and changes in the levels of these trace elements.
Aim: To compare the levels of trace elements in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and healthy individuals.
Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study included 200 patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and 200 controls. It was conducted in the Clinical Biochemistry section of the Central Laboratory, Department of Biochemistry, IMCH and RC, Indore.
Results: The study showed that serum copper levels were higher and serum zinc levels were lower in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus compared to healthy controls.M,.
Conclusion: Changes in copper and zinc levels are important factors that may increase the risk of complications in people with diabetes. Based on the present study, it can be concluded that alterations in trace elements such as copper and zinc may play a role in the development and progression of Diabetes Mellitus.
