Many biological and health studies suggest that camel milk is useful for lowering blood sugar. Camel milk acts as an insulin, What is the validity of this hypothesis ?
Camel milk contains Zinc which plays a role of insulin secretion ( 52 micro Unit /ml of insulin like polypeptide ) .
Camel milk does not act as insulin. Rather, it stimulates the production of insulin.
Also, camel milk can significantly cause an increase in homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) as suggested by Ejtahed et al., 2015.

It other functions may bring about this hypothesis. Not yet tested but it has diverse functions. Such as
Stimulate the immune system
Promote healthy intestinal bacteria
Regulate the way the body processes iron
Reduce coronary heart disease
Prevent stomach and digestive problems
What component of camel milk should mimic insulin in its hormone action?
Please name the study that at least associates drinking camel milk and low blood sugar or HbA1c in a camel drinking population. Or show a study that demonstrates a low prevalence of diabetes in a camel milk drinking community.
What about cow milk, goat milk, horse milk. It is true that camel milk contains more insulin-like- protein than for example cow milk.
Please take a look at this useful RG link.

Camel milk has a nutritional formula similar to whole cow's milk, but it provides less saturated fat, more unsaturated fat, and larger amounts of many vitamins and minerals.
This paper demonstrates that, camel milk causes significant reduction in insulin dosages in insulin dependentdiabetic subjects to obtain glycemic control along with significant improvement in HbA1c level, and improvement inmicro albuminuria.

Effects of Camel’s Milk as a Vehicle for Insulin on Glycaemic Control and Lipid Profile in Type 1 Diabetic : A study by Mohamed-I Kotb-El-Sayed et al 2011
Conclusion of study: Camel’s milk mixed with insulin was indicated to be an effective supplementation, as adjunctive therapy in management of type 1 diabetes than camel milk or insulin injection.
