Popis: Background: Diabetes associated with multiple metabolic problems in the body, including bone mineralization remodeling, osteoporosis and increase risk of fracture. Quercetin is natural flavonoids and according to animal studies; it has potent antioxidant, antidiabetic and protective effect against bone loss due to various causes. Objectives: explore effect of quercetin as nutritional supplement administrated orally on some bone mineralization bio-markers such as calcium, vitamin D and osteocalcin in Iraqi diabetic patients. Methods: interventional double-blind placebo randomized controlled study in which 40 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (age range 40-45) assigned randomly (using simple randomization) in either control (n=20) or study (n=20) group. Study group received Quercetin oral supplement as 500mg capsule once daily for three months. Venous blood was used for measuring Serum calcium, 25(OH) vitamin D and osteocalcin at base line and after 3 months. Results: After 3 months treatment with Quercetin; levels of Osteocalcin (28.1±7.6), serum calcium (9.2±1.8) and 25(OH) vitamin D (26.6±8.7) were significantly (p
