Fasting, postprandial blood glucose and HbA 1c levels were measured at baseline, 3 and 6 months. Results: There were significant improvements in the blood glucose levels and HbA 1c levels in the treatment group only. Repeated measures of blood glucose levels and HbA1c levels revealed no significant changes in the control group, compared with significant improvements in the treatment group (p<0.001 for both blood glucose and HbA1c levels). Side effects attributed to camel’s milk intake were minimal and self-limited. The total cost of camel’s milk intake/patient/month is less than 11 US$. Conclusions: Camel’s milk intake by diabet...
