This meta- analysis uncovered clinical ly improved effects of yoga intervention on glycemic control , lipid profiles and other parameters of T2DM management in prediabetic population .
These results suggest that yoga intervention may be considered as a comprehensive and alternative approach to preventing T2DM .
A systematic review and meta- analysis was conducted to investigate the effects of yoga on glycemic control , lipid profiles , body composition and blood pressure in people in the pre-diabetic state .
Completion report: Effect of Comprehensive Yogic Breathing program on type 2 diabetes: A randomized control trial
Background : Yoga has been shown to be beneficial in diabetes in many studies , though r and omized control trials are few . The aim of this r and omized control trial was to see the effect of Sudarshan Kriya and related practice s ( comprehensive yogic breathing program ) on quality of life , glycemic control , and cardiac autonomic functions in diabetes . Diabetes mellitus is a risk factor for sudden cardiac death . Cardiac autonomic neuropathy has been implicated in the causation of sudden cardiac death . Therefore , a maneuver to prevent progression of cardiac autonomic neuropathy holds significance . Material s and Methods : A total of 120 patients of diabetes on oral medication and diet and exercise advice were r and omized into two groups : ( 1 ) Continued to receive st and ard treatment for diabetes . ( 2 ) Patients administered comprehensive yogic breathing program and monitored to regularly practice yoga in addition to st and ard treatment of diabetes . At 6 months , quality of life and postpr and ial plasma glucose significantly improved in the group practicing yoga compared to baseline , but there was no significant improvement in the fasting plasma glucose and glycated hemoglobin . Results : On per protocol analysis , sympathetic cardiac autonomic functions significantly improved from baseline in the group practicing comprehensive yogic breathing . Conclusion : This r and omized control trial points towards the beneficial effect of yogic breathing program in preventing progression of cardiac neuropathy . This has important implication s as cardiac autonomic neuropathy has been considered as one of the factors for sudden cardiac deaths
