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 .
Effect of psychological stress on glucose control in patients with Type 2 diabetes.
AIM To investigate the effect of acute psychological stress on glucose concentrations in patients with Type 2 diabetes , in the fasting state as well as in the postpr and ial state . METHODS Thirty patients ( 12 female ) with Type 2 diabetes were included . Mean ± SD age was 60 ± 12 years , BMI 28.8 ± 4.2 kg/m(2 ) , diabetes duration 8.9 ± 6.7 years and HbA(1c ) 51 ± 9 mmol/mol ( 6.8 ± 0.8 % ) . Using a non-r and omized approach , all participants were exposed to moderate psychological stress by means of the Trier Social Stress Test : 10 participants in the fasting state and 20 participants 75 min after intake of a st and ard meal . Blood pressure , heart rate and salivary cortisol  were monitored on the control day and the stress-test  day . Glucose concentrations were assessed using a continuous glucose monitoring system . RESULTS On the stress-test day , blood pressure rose from 117/73 ± 13/12 to 155/92 ± 22/14 mmHg , heart rate from 77 ± 11 to 91 ± 25 b min(-1 ) and salivary cortisol concentrations from 8.5 ± 3.7 to 26.4 ± 12.1 nmol/l ( P < 0.001 ) ; these measurements remained unchanged on the control day . On the stress-test day , when the Trier Social Stress Test was applied 75 min after the intake of a st and ard meal  , the glucose concentrations were significantly higher compared with the control day ( mean difference 1.5 mmol/l , 95 % CI 0.5 - 2.4 , P = 0.003 ) . In the fasting state , glucose concentrations slightly decreased during the control day but remained stable on the stress-test day ( mean difference compared with the control day 0.7 mmol/l , 95 % CI -0.7 to 2.0 , P = 0.31 ) . CONCLUSIONS When stress is experienced in the postpr and ial period , acute psychological stress significantly increases glucose concentrations in patients with Type 2 diabetes
