Given the fact that diabetes is one of the most widespread diseases of the age and there is no definitive treatment for it, so the aim of our study was to take the levels of some elements of the effect in patients in terms of gender, age and type and compare them with healthy people in Najaf province, where the benefit of them is to predict injury and thus avoid prior through the balance of the concentrations of some elements in the human body. Therefore, 25 samples were taken from diabetic patients (serum, nails, hair) compared to 15 healthy samples. These samples were analyzed by the Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer. The results were analyzed and processed statistically and it was found that After analyzing the results statistically using the independent sample test and the ANOVA test, it was found that there is no statistical importance when comparing the blood serum samples between the different groups in terms of sex and gender between patients and healthy subjects, but there is a statistical significate, meaning that p-value is less than 0.05 for the nails and hair samples, as it is consistent with Many international studies differ with some, and this is due to the biological nature of humans and the correlation with geographical distribution.
