Background<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traditionally, in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East, camel milk is consumed regularly to manage diabetes, and drinking it lowers the incidence of diabetes. Since fresh camel milk is not available to all people globally, this study aimed to evaluate the antidiabetic effects of camel milk powder in diabetic patients. Camel milk has immune-stimulatory properties on the beta-cells of the pancreas, enhanced secretion of insulin, and decreased insulin resistance in diabetic subjects[1]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aim<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Evaluation of Camel milk in Type 1 Diabetes: Blood Parameters Prospective Study<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Methods:<\/strong>\u00a0In this trial, 6 patients with type 1 diabetes who had been on insulin for the last few years were selected and given 15 g of camel milk powder\/day, equivalent to about 500 mL of camel milk, administered twice daily in divided doses for 3 months<\/span>. Patients were not on any other medications, including insulin, and were not on any dietary regimens or exercise programs for at least 1 month before the trial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Results<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The results showed a significant decrease in fasting and postprandial blood Glucose in patients fed camel milk powder, from 113 to 98 mg\/dL (P = 0.001) and from 142 to 131 mg\/dL (P = 0.02), respectively, after 3 months of camel milk powder intake. The LDL decreased significantly from 95 to 73 mg\/dL(P0.02). Thus, camel milk powder may exhibit antidiabetic activity in patients with diabetes and improve cardiovascular health and other complications. The results also showed that the average required insulin dose before consuming camel milk powder was 42 \u00b1 5 u\/day, which gradually decreased to 30 \u00b1 6 u\/day (P = 0.02) three months after starting camel milk powder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
