Abstract

Diabetes mellitus is a long-term medical condition  identified by high blood sugar levels. Two forms of  diabetes most commonly occur. Type I diabetes occurs  in children and type II diabetes is normally found in  adults. Although diabetes affects the whole body's  function surprisingly, it gives rise to male infertility.  Diabetes causes impotency, and ejaculatory disorders  and decreases libido in males. Hibiscus rosa-sinensis and  camel milk both are known for their anti-diabetic  properties. Both are able to deal with the oxidative stress  caused by diabetes because of their antioxidant  properties. Both have other properties like antibacterial,  anti-inflammatory, antifungal, antimicrobial, antitumor,  cardio-protective, hepato-protective etc. The crude  extract of Hibiscus rosa-sinensis has insulin-secreting  activity, significantly lowering the glucose level of blood  in diabetic rats. Camel milk contains insulin-like protein  which is also reported to positively decrease the blood  sugar level.
