| dc.description.abstract | In India, camel milk is said to be effective in the management of Diabetes type 1 and the prevalence
rate of diabetes there is said to be lower in camel milk consuming communities. In Kenya a similar
allegation has been made although no study has been done to vailidate the allegation. A retrospective
study is underway in Garissa county where there are both camel milk consumers and non-consumers.
From May 2010-feb 2012 over 900 patients visited the diabetes clinic in Garissa provincial hospital.
About 25 percent were under 40 and had Type 1 diabetes. Most of these had high random blood
sugar, and some had had complications like neuropathy. The ages raged from 5 years to 40 years. The
patients are being tracked down to the villages so as to obtain complete family and behavioral history.
There are reports from the hospital that some patients abandon conventional treatment and opt for
camel milk in the rural areas | en_US |
