Abstract

A 56 years old female with breast cancer (BC) and poor controlled diabetes mellitus type 1 (DM1) which has registered in a clinical trial for assessment of thera­peutic efficacy of b-D-mannuronic acid (M2000) on pre-surgical BC patients is described in this case report. After receiving M2000, the patient was followed for 9 weeks. During this period, cancer mass details, fast­ing blood glucose (FBG) levels, 2-hour post-prandial blood glucose (2HPP), blood uric acid (BUA) level and urine analysis (UA) were continuously controlled. After 9 weeks of treatment with M2000, her FBG, BUA and UA decreased significantly. This finding was exactly in accordance with our published experimental data about the anti-diabetic effect of M2000 in an animal model. Therefore, it might be concluded that M2000 is probably able to improve DM1 by reducing FBG level, BUA level, glycosuria, ketonuria and proteinuria.
