Effectiveness of gum arabica and inulin incorporated formula in the management of type 3c diabetes mellitus: A case study

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Diabetes stands as a major stumbling block worldwide. The rising incidence of type 3c diabetes mellitus (T3c DM) remains largely underrecognized due to diagnostic challenges and its frequent misclassification as type 2 diabetes. T3c DM accounts for approximately 5–10% of all diabetic cases, linked to exocrine pancreatic dysfunction, underscores the need for effective management strategies. Erratic blood sugar levels, unexplained weight loss, persistent fatigue, and increased susceptibility to infections are the symptoms, though often subtle, that are indicative of the unique pathophysiology of T3c DM. Here, we report a case of T3c DM in a 29-year-old male who came with the complaints of persistent hyperglycemia. Following a defined duration of gum arabica and inulin-incorporated formula to the patient showed a notable reduction in fasting blood glucose levels. This outcome signifies the effectiveness of the gum arabica and inulin incorporated formula in facilitating the patient’s health and underscores its potential significance in managing high blood sugar levels.
