Effect of Camel Milk on Glycemic Control and Lipid Profiles of Diabetic Patients

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of camel and cow milk on blood sugar and lipid profiles of patients with diabetes mellitus, who injected lantus insulin.
In a randomized clinical trial, 40 patients with diabetes mellitus, using lantus insulin injections were randomly allocated two groups of camel milk receivers (19 patients, mean age 59.84±1.05) and cow milk receivers (17 patients, mean age 49.47±2.93). The two groups consumed 500 mL of either camel milk or cow milk daily for three months.
Changes in mean glucose levels of the camel milk group were significant, over the study duration and (P0.05).
Camel milk decreased blood sugar, HbA1c and required the insulin dose required in diabetes mellitus patients, who inject lantus insulin and in could also contribute to glycemic control in these patients.
