The intake of camel milk reduced the excessive need for insulin as it contains high levels of insulin or insulin like protein, which can pass through the stomach easily without getting destroyed. Stomach acidity would normally destroy the insulin taken, but one can take camel milk to avoid this. Oral insulin is worth the try. Long term effects of camel milk are yet to be researched, but yet it is considered to be useful for controlling the glucose levels in the blood as of now.
Camels are generally looked upon as animals to travel upon in the deserts of Rajasthan, but now one has become more aware of the importance of camel milk in the control of Diabetes. The milk contains high insulin and insulin-like protein, which can help in regulating the blood glucose levels. This was so in the case of type 1 Diabetes and it was observed that drinking a pint of camel milk daily helped to improve the glucose levels.
Camel milk is an adjunct to insulin therapy and improves the long term glycaemic control and reduces the intake of insulin in Type 1 Diabetic patient. Research is on by the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) to find out why the Rajasthani tribe, Raika does not suffer from Diabetes. Incidentally India is likely to become the epicenter of Diabetes by 2025. This race showed immense tolerance to glucose. Whether it is genetic or due to camel milk it needs to be further ascertained.
A one-month study conducted in Britain of Type 1 Diabetes patients has shown that a pint of camel milk daily does improve the blood sugar levels.
Camel milk does not form coagulum in acidic environment, which allows the camel milk to pass quickly through the stomach with the specific insulin and remain in the intestine for absorption. The radio immuno assay levels of camel milk are on the higher side.
Camel milk is highly nutritious, contains lower fat and lactose, higher levels of potassium, iron and vitamin-C and large amounts of insulin. An Austrian entrepreneur Johan is planning to produce camel milk chocolates, yoghurt and butter.
The solution to a Diabetic problem could lie in having more of camel’s milk. The milk may not be tasty but has ingredients that help a Diabetic to find solutions to his insulin problem.
