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 .
Population-based incidence rates and risk factors for type 2 diabetes in white individuals: the Bruneck study.
Incidence rates and risk factors for type 2 diabetes in low-risk population s are not well documented . We investigated these in white individuals who were aged 40 - 79 years and from the population of Bruneck , Italy . Of an age- and sex-stratified r and om sample of 1,000 individuals who were identified in 1990 , 919 underwent an oral glucose tolerance test ( OGTT ) and an assessment of physiological risk factors for diabetes , including insulin resistance ( homeostasis model assessment , HOMA-IR ) , and  postchallenge insulin response  ( Sluiter 's Index ) . Diabetes at baseline by fasting or 2-h OGTT plasma glucose ( World Health Organization criteria , n = 82 ) was excluded , leaving 837 individuals who were followed for 10 years .  Incident cases of diabetes were ascertained by confirmed diabetes treatment or a fasting glucose > or=7.0 mmol/l . At follow-up , 64 individuals had developed diabetes , corresponding to a population -st and ardized incidence rate of 7.6 per 1,000 person-years . Sex- and age-adjusted incidence rates were elevated 11-fold in individuals with impaired fasting glucose at baseline , 4-fold in those with impaired glucose tolerance , 3-fold in overweight individuals , 10-fold in obese individuals , and approximately 2-fold in individuals with dyslipidemia or hypertension . Incidence rates increased with increasing HOMA-IR and decreasing Sluiter 's Index . As compared with normal insulin sensitivity and normal insulin response , individuals with low insulin sensitivity and low insulin response had a sevenfold higher risk of diabetes . Baseline impaired fasting glucose , BMI , HOMA-IR , and Sluiter 's Index were the only independent predictors of incident diabetes in multivariate analyses . We conclude that approximately 1 % of European white individuals aged 40 - 79 years develop type 2 diabetes annually and that " subdiabetic " hyperglycemia , obesity , insulin resistance , and impaired insulin response to glucose are independent predictors of diabetes
