Research on Palatyne Products in Collaboration with Ramathibodi Hospital

Currently, a large number of Thai citizens are at risk for or have diabetes. A survey by the Diabetes Association of Thailand found that as many as 4.8 million people have diabetes, including both diagnosed and undiagnosed individuals. The survey also found that the severity of the disease and its complications appear more frequently in adolescents and young adults than in the elderly. Due to this situation, Eat Well Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Rajburi Sugar Co., Ltd., initiated the transformation of regular table sugar, which poses a risk to the blood sugar levels of diabetic patients, into the healthy sugar product, Palatyne. On February 18, 2020, Eat Well Co., Ltd. signed a cooperation agreement with Ramathibodi Hospital to study the properties of the Palatyne healthy sugar product for use in blended foods for patients who require tube feeding or other supplemental drinks. This research aims to benefit those with impaired blood sugar control and those with diabetes in the future.
