Problem: study the effect of basal water by replacing it with normal drinking water to reduce the level of the sugar in the blood. Goal : reduce the using of insulin doses which has harmful physically and psychologically effect on the patient . Hypothesis :When we drink two liters of alkaline water a day. The sugar level of adult patient is by least 20% that means to reduce of insulin doses. Steps : Do the experiment on sample of patient (consist of one patient after measuring the ph level Zamzam water and recording result = 8ph Adults have the same circumstances (one patient has 80 kilograms weight , long is 168 centimeters the age is 50 year old. 1- we measured the level of sugar in the blood of a patient three times a day (using the normal drinking water) for two weeks and write the results. 2- The same patient uses basal water for drinking . 3- measuring the level of sugar of the patient within two weeks 4.-Write the results which were recorded for the level of sugar in the blood. 5- comparing between to the level of sugar in the blood of patient when he drank normal drinking water and when he drank alkaline water (before and after the use of alkaline water) 6- Repeating the experiment 3 times was on the same sample patient and measuring the results in each period. 7.-The operation was done in the Bish General Hospital and at home. Date Analysis : We noticed reducing in the level of sugar in the blood when the patients used the alkaline water.

I enjoyed reading your report. I was particularly interested in learning that water could affect diabetes. I wonder, how would climate factors affect the sources and quality of water available to patients who need specialized water?
Very interesting research! I have similar questions to Matt - how could you incorporate GLOBE protocols into this research? Also, do you know any sources of error or any limitations to your research?

Hi Matt
I'm responding on behalf of student Noha.

The zamzam well is adaptive to its surrounding environment and it is not negatively affected by the local climate factors.
Although zamzam water is very rich with minieral elements, poisonous element like Arsenic is found traceable amounts and far below hazardous levels to cause harms to the human.
That makes on the other hand unsuitable medium for Algae to grow , as that the case in some other water resources.

Im delighted that you enjoyed reading my report.
I would like to point out that I have measured the ph-value of Zamzam water as well as the Nitrate value, I found that those values are 8 and 6 respectively.
