Samples and methodology: It was a cross sectional study conducted at University of wasit . The blood samples were collected from student in year 2024 involving 75 samples were taken from both male and female, healthy individual with age ranging from (18-25) years, the samples were tested for ABO blood groups using (ABO_kit ) additionally, the samples were submitted to Glucometer machine to evaluate the glucose level.

Conclusion: The research suggests a positive association between ABO blood groups and blood glucose levels.
