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 .
Can the Onset of Type 2 Diabetes Be Delayed by a Group-Based Lifestyle Intervention in Women with Prediabetes following Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM)? Findings from a Randomized Control Mixed Methods Trial
Objective . To evaluate a 12-week group-based lifestyle intervention programme for women with prediabetes following gestational diabetes ( GDM ) . Design . A two-group , mixed methods r and omized controlled trial in which 50 women with a history of GDM and abnormal glucose tolerance postpartum were r and omly assigned to intervention ( n = 24 ) or wait control ( n = 26 ) and postintervention qualitative interviews with participants . Main Outcome Measures . Modifiable biochemical , anthropometric , behavioural , and psychosocial risk factors associated with the development of type 2 diabetes . The primary outcome variable was the change in fasting plasma glucose ( FPG ) from study entry to one-year follow-up . Results . At one-year follow-up , the intervention group showed significant improvements over the wait control group on stress , diet self-efficacy , and quality of life . There was no evidence of an effect of the intervention on measures of biochemistry or anthropometry ; the effect on one health behaviour , diet adherence , was close to significance . Conclusions . Prevention programmes must tackle the barriers to participation faced by this population ; home-based interventions should be investigated . Strategies for promoting long-term health self-management need to be developed and tested
