There’s a traditional belief in the Middle East that regular consumption of camel milk may aid in prevention and control of diabetes. Research conducted at Cairo University, in Egypt supports this belief. First, the details.
54 type 1 diabetic patients (average age 20 years) were randomly assigned to a treatment group for 16 weeks. Usual management (diet, exercise, and insulin), and Usual management + 500 mL of camel milk daily
And, the results.
After 16 weeks, the camel milk group showed improvement in the following parameters:
Fasting blood sugar
A1c
Serum anti-insulin antibodies
Urinary albumin excretion
Daily insulin dose (23 units with camel milk vs 48 units in the other group)
Body mass index
C-peptide levels were markedly higher in the camel milk group.
Most impressively, the daily dose of insulin decreased and A1c improved in the group treated with camel milk.
Camel milk was indicated to be an effective supplementation in the management of type 1 diabetes reflected in a significant reduction in insulin doses along with improvement in different parameters of diabetes and quality of life.
I can´t believe.... but, there are a lot of others research with similar results.
