AB  - AIM: This study aimed to investigate the nutrient contents and the 
      anti-hyperglycemic effect of the immature endosperm of sugar palm (IESP) 
      (Borassus flabellifer L.) fruit on type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients. 
      METHODS: This is a short type case study where patients (n = 30) with T2DM were 
      randomly selected and fed IESP (100 mL) twice a day after a regular meal and 
      continued this experiment up to 4th weeks. RESULT: The mean fasting blood glucose 
      (FBG) level was markedly reduced from 1st week (15.74 mmol/L) to 4th week 
      (10.53 mmol/L) among the patients who had normal body mass index (18.5-24.9). 
      Only 16.67% diabetic patients had irregular FBG levels where 10% were in the 
      previous stages after finishing the experimental period, and exceptionally in the 
      case of 6.67% diabetic patients, this therapeutic juice was unsuccessful because 
      of their irregular intake of insulin. The IESP was more effective on female 
      (p </= 0.001) patients than males (p </= 0.05). CONCLUSION: The IESP could be 
      considered as anti-hyperglycemic fruit, and this might be due to its nutrient 
      contents, especially phytochemicals, fiber, sodium, potassium, copper, and zinc.
