Collectively , findings suggest that yogic practice s may promote significant improvements in several indices of importance in DM2 management , including glycemic control , lipid levels , and body composition .
More limited data suggest that yoga may also lower oxidative stress and blood pressure ; enhance pulmonary and autonomic function , mood , sleep , and quality of life ; and reduce medication use in adults with DM2 .
A growing body of evidence suggests yogic practice s may benefit adults with type 2 diabetes ( DM2 ) .
In this systematic review , we evaluate available evidence from prospect i ve controlled trials regarding the effects of yoga-based programs on specific health outcomes pertinent to DM2 management .
The role of depression and anxiety in onset of diabetes in a large population-based study.
OBJECTIVE Recent research has shown that depression may predict incident  diabetes . The aims of the study are to investigate if symptoms of  depression  and anxiety precede the onset of diabetes or vice versa and to examine if mediating factors may explain such associations . METHODS A prospect i ve population -based study ( N=37,291 ) investigating the associations between  symptoms of  depression/anxiety  and diabetes was conducted . RESULTS Individuals reporting symptoms of depression and anxiety at baseline had increased risk of onset of type 2 diabetes at 10-year follow-up . No gender differences were found . The analyses did not reveal underlying factors that mediated the association . Baseline diagnosis of diabetes was not associated with subsequent symptoms of anxiety or depression among males or females . CONCLUSION Diabetes did not predict symptoms of depression or anxiety . Symptoms of depression and anxiety emerged as significant risk factors for onset of type 2 diabetes independent of established risk factors for diabetes , such as socioeconomic factors , lifestyle factors , and markers of the metabolic syndrome . The comorbidity between depression and anxiety may be the most important factor
