ABSTRACT. The article describes experimental research of the impact of microelement`s deficiency on human carbohydrate metabolism. The studies were conducted in conditions of ecological-biogeochemical optimum and disaster. The level of Cu, Si, Se, Mn, Ca, Cr, Y, F, the level of leptin, the serum glucose level were evaluated in a similar diet, and the body mass index of the experiment `s participants was determined. Correlation links between individual microelements and indicators of exchange have been revealed: leptin level, fasting glycaemia. The difference was noticed in body mass between researched persons in two groups. Pre-diabetic changes in a significant number of people living in the disaster zone have been diagnosed. The hypothesis about the effect of the imbalance of macro- and microelements on the carbohydrate metabolism in the human body has been confirmed. An auxiliary method of correction of carbohydrate metabolism has been created (Edwards, Cusi, 2016).

KEYWORDS: microelements and leptin, carbohydrate metabolism, metabolic syndrome, micronutrient deficiency, microelements and glucose, inulin-rich product, new generation’s nutrition.
