      diabetes: a pilot clinical trial.

AB  - BACKGROUND: It has been shown that camel milk consumption has a definite 
      decreasing effect on the prevalence of diabetes. However, most of these studies 
      were conducted on patients with type 1 diabetes, whereas studies on patients with 
      type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are limited. In vitro experiments have shown that 
      camel milk was able to decrease blood glucose concentration. OBJECTIVES: The 
      purpose of this study was to investigate effects of camel and cow milk on blood 
      sugar, lipid profile, and blood pressure of patients with T2DM. PATIENTS AND 
      METHODS: In a randomized single-blinded controlled clinical trial, 20 patients 
      with T2DM were randomly allocated into two groups. Participants consumed 500 mL 
      of either camel milk (intervention group) or cow milk (control group) daily for 
      two months. RESULTS: Mean of insulin concentration was significantly increased 
      from 64.59 to 84.03 pmol/L in the camel milk group during the study (P < 0.05). 
      No significant differences were shown in fasting blood sugar, lipid profile, and 
      blood pressure between the two groups at the end of study. There was significant 
      increase in homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) during 
      the study in both groups, but no significant difference was seen between the two 
      groups. CONCLUSIONS: Camel milk increased insulin level in patients with T2DM and 
      might contribute to glycemic control in T2DM.
