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 .
Psychosocial Stress at Work Doubles the Risk of Type 2 Diabetes in Middle-Aged Women
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of psychosocial stress at work on risk of type 2 diabetes , adjusting for conventional risk factors , among a sample of British , white-collar , middle-aged men and women . RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS This was a prospect i ve analysis ( 1991–2004 ) from the Whitehall II cohort study . The current sample consists of 5,895 Caucasian middle-aged civil servants free from diabetes at baseline . Type 2 diabetes was ascertained by an oral glucose tolerance test supplemented by self-reports at baseline and four consecutive waves of data collection including two screening phases . The job strain and iso-strain models were used to assess psychosocial work stress .  RESULTS Iso-strain in the workplace was associated with a twofold higher risk of type 2 diabetes in age-adjusted analysis in women but not in men ( hazard ratio 1.94 [ 95 % CI 1.17–3.21 ) . This effect remained robust to adjustment for socioeconomic position and outside work stressors and was only attenuated by 20 % after adjustment for health behaviors , obesity , and other type 2 diabetes risk factors . CONCLUSIONS  Psychosocial work stress  was an independent predictor of type 2 diabetes among women after a 15-year follow-up . This association was not explained by potential confounding and mediating factors . More evidence from prospect i ve studies using the same work stress models is needed to support the current findings and provide further information on sex differences
