Summary: Abstract: Diabetes mellitus is a chronic with many effective treatments currently available, However, continued research is necessary in order to improve the existing prevention and treatment protocol. The importance of the role of micronutrients including zinc in the treatment of diabetes is being investigatigated. A number of studies have shown the benefits of zinc supplementation in various clinical disorders indicating it as a possible additional course of therapy in diabetic care. However, despite available data, the current protocol in the management of diabetes does not include zinc supplementation. This study attempts to determine the prevalence of Zinc Deficiency (ZD) among adult type II DM and non-diabetic patients in FEU-NRMF Medical Center. The study was performed with a sample size of n = 80 (aged 35 - 65 years) where n = 43 have a previously confirmed Type II Diabetes Mellitus diagnosis, and the remaining n - 37 do not have a Type II Diabetes Mellitus diagnosis. Blood extraction was performed on the patients following an 8-10 hour fast. Fasting Blood Sugar (FBS) determination using ALS Glucose Reagent was performed in the Biochemistry Department of the Institute of Medicine of FEU-NRMF. Zinc Analysis using Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrometry was performed at the Department of Science and Technology (DOST-FNRI). Statistical analyses determine that there is no significant difference between the two groups. This may be attributed to other confounding factors, which possibly include the diversity of medication and dietary intake among the individal participants.
