ABSTRACT. For more than a decade, there has been a growing interest in the role of trace elements in the development and progression of diabetes. The imbalance of elements in the body can serve as one of the triggers for the development of pathological disorders responsible for the occurrence of metabolic disorders and associated diseases. In this regard, the aim of the study was to evaluate changes in the level of macro- and microelements in the blood serum of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The study involved men with an average age of 60 years (n=50). The assessment of the elemental status was carried out by studying the chemical composition of the hair using the methods of ICP-NPP and ICP-MS in the laboratory of the ANO "Center for Biotic Medicine" in Moscow. To confirm the anamnesis data, a study of glucose and glycated hemoglobin parameters was performed. There was a tendency for lower levels of Ca, Fe, I, Co, Cr and higher levels of Se in patients with diabetes mellitus.
