Chewing gum has a lot of sugar in it so it's normal that it tastes sweet. You can do the same experiment with bread, if you chew it long enough it will start to taste sweet. That's because it has starch in it that is chemically altered to glucose when it comes into contact with saliva.

Starch consists of alpha D glucose units afaik.

A sweetened flavored preparation for chewing, usually made of chicle.

Chewing gum and boiled sweets based on sugar replacers such as isomalt, lactitol, maltitol, sorbitol, and xylitol can act almost as dental care products. The sugar substitute mainly used in sugar-free boiled sweets is isomalt from Beneo-Palatinit. It is also used in chewing gum and a wide range of other food products.
