| dc.description.abstract | Diabetes has been shown to be associated with abnorm- alities in the metabolism of micronutrients, especially chromium, zinc, copper, magnesium, and manganese. People with type 2 diabetes attending the Diabetes Clinic of the University of Benin Teaching Hospital, were recruited to examine the relationship between trace mineral status and glycaemic control. A total of 120 persons were studied, mean (±SD) age was 54±7 years and mean duration of diabetes 4±4 years. Serum chromium level correlated inversely with fasting blood glucose (FBG) and HbA1c, unlike the serum concentra- tion of zinc which had no significant correlation with either FBG or HbA1c. People with diabetes should be encouraged to eat local specific foods rich in chromium | en_US |
