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 .
A resilience intervention in African-American adults with type 2 diabetes.
OBJECTIVES To explore the feasibility and outcomes of a resilience-based diabetes self-management education ( RB-DSME ) program to improve psychological and physiological health in African-American adults with type 2 diabetes . METHODS An experimental group ( N = 32 ) received RB-DSME and a comparison group ( N = 33 ) received st and ard DSME .  Psychological and physiological measures were taken at baseline and 6 months . ANCOVAs assessed whether the experimental group improved its overall outcome relative to the comparison group , while controlling for baseline scores . RESULTS The experimental group 's outcomes were significantly improved vis-à-vis the comparison group for diabetes knowledge , positive meaning , HDL cholesterol , and fasting blood glucose . CONCLUSIONS The RB-DSME shows feasibility and promise for enhancing health ; a full-scale r and omized trial is warranted
