Is Herbal Powder With Camel S Milk The Right Medicine For Diabetes?

This is for a 11year old niece, t1d diagnosed about 3.5 years ago. Currently on insulin injections. I have heard about this durg place where they say that the patient needs to take their two doses, and follow some basic dietary rules for a month. There are mixed reviews, some positive some negative. This seems to be some kind of unani medicine given with camel s milk, etc. Any statistical info ... How many patients handled so far, how many cured, how many relapsed, any change / improvement in the medicine / process after feedback, etc. ? I need to take a call on this.

Pediatrician 's  Response
Diabetes is a condition which occurs when a hormone called insulin, that controls the blood sugar levels, is present in less quantity or if it is not identified properly by the receptors which mediate its action. Childhood diabetes is of increasing concern in today's age and the only option to treat is to provide insulin from outside, in the form of injections. Even giving medicines that increase the insulin production, are not likely to help as the problem lies in insulin production. Hence, no alternative methods like camels' milk are going to be effective. There are no studies regarding the same, hence statistics are not available.

The only call you should take is to regularly administer the doses of insulin. I understand that it feels bad to inject a child twice a day, but there are not better solutions available.
