Effects of Camel’s Milk as a Vehicle for Insulin on Glycaemic Control and Lipid Profile in Type 1 Diabetics

Abstract

Problem statement:To evaluate effects of oral insulin carried by camel's milk on type 1 diabetes patient in comparison with both insulin injection requirements and camel's milk alone. Approach: Total of fifty randomly selected type 1 diabetic subjects were divided into three groups; A, B and C (n = 15). All subjects received a usual care (diet, exercise and insulin injection) but group B subjects in addition received 500 mL day −1 of camel's milk, while group C their subjects in addition received insulin mixed with 500 ml day

Effect of camel milk on lipid profile among patients with diabetes: a systematic review, meta-analysis, and meta-regression of randomized controlled trials

“…The sample sizes of these studies ranged from 12 to 64 participants (a total of 347 participants), and participants’ ages ranged from 8 to 70 years (excluding studies conducted only among patients aged < 18 years). One study was conducted among males alone [ 46 ], whereas the others included both sexes [ 27 , 33 , 42 – 45 , 47 – 49 ]. Males comprised 60.5% of all participants in the included studies.…”

“…The type of CM was described as fresh in 8 studies [ 27 , 42 – 44 , 46 – 49 ], fermented in one study [ 45 ], and pasteurized in one study [ 33 ]. The included studies were conducted in India [ 49 ], China [ 48 ], Egypt [ 27 ], Yemen [ 47 ], Iran [ 33 , 42 , 43 , 45 ], Libya [ 46 ], and Sudan [ 44 ]. Six [ 27 , 42 , 44 , 47 – 49 ] studies encouraged patients to follow exercise, diet, and insulin therapy 1 month before the intervention period.…”

“…When a sensitivity analysis was performed on articles that reported TC levels by removing one study at a time, the total effect size changed and became non-significant when the studies by Abdalla et al [ 44 ], El-Sayed et al [ 47 ], and Wang et al [ 48 ] were excluded. However, the heterogeneity remained substantial.…”

Comparative Attenuating Impact of Camel Milk and Insulin in Streptozotocin-Induced Diabetic Albino Rats

“…The higher antioxidant activity of camel milk may be attributed to its approximately 6.7 times greater vitamin C content than fresh cow milk. , Camel milk possesses antihyperglycemic properties owing to its higher concentration of insulin-like protein (52 micro units/mL) in comparison to cow milk (16 micro units/mL). ,, Notably, camel milk exhibits the peculiar characteristic of not coagulating in the acidic environment of the stomach, allowing for optimal absorption in the intestine . Previous research suggests that camel milk and insulin may serve as effective complementary therapies for individuals with type-I diabetes . However, limited scientific investigations have been conducted on the comparative effects of camel milk, insulin, or their combinations.…”
