  ABSTRACT: Zinc plays a critical role in a variety of cell functions and elicits the fact that both its deficiency and excess may demonstrate deleterious situation. It has been proposed that zinc is required for multiple steps in insulin synthesis and release. This study investigated the relationship of zinc and glucose in diabetics. Using serum samples of diabetic patients whose glucose concentrations were above the threshold (10.0 mmol/l), spectroscopic methods were used to determine the concentration of glucose and zinc. Results obtained showed a negative correlation between level of glucose and zinc. Data were analyzed using student’s t-test with the aid of Graph Pad Prism (R) version 6.01 with a p value of
