type 2 DM,, zinc
Brief summary
investigation of the impact of zinc level on the development of DM and to elaborate on whether daily consumption of zinc affects the disease's evolution.
Detailed description
The relationship between the pathophysiology of diabetes mellitus and trace element dysregulation emphasizes how crucial it is to maintain appropriate micronutrient status in order to manage this chronic metabolic disease. One promising strategy for enhancing glycemic control and lowering the risk of diabetic complications may be to address these underlying dietary imbalances. Accordingly, the aim is to investigate the impact of zinc level on the development of DM and to elaborate on whether daily consumption of zinc affects the disease's evolution.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| zinc serum level in the participnats | through study completion, an average of 1 year | investigate the impact of zinc serum level on the development of DM |
| Dietary micronutrient assessment using food questionnaire | through study completion, an average of 1 year | Dietary micronutrient assessment using food questionnaire adopted from a questionnaire for screening the micronutrient intake of economically active South African adults |
| Trace elements daily intake calculation | through study completion, an average of 1 year | It will be calculated by multiplying the element contents measured in food (μg/kg) with the intake as estimated by the food micronutrient questionnaire (g/day). |
| the dietary intake by kilogram (kg) of body weight (bw) | through study completion, an average of 1 year | the dietary intake by kilograms (kg) of body weight (bw) by dividing by the weight of participants. |
Secondary
