Some recent studies have shown that serum zinc level is low in diabetic patients because of diuresis.

Materials & Methods: In a case control study, serum zinc level of 50 children with type one diabetes mellitus and history of at least six months insulin therapy, compared with 50 non diabetic healthy children.
