Yoga, a ancient technique may have a therapeutic effect on blood glucose parameters in
patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, a recent and renowned institute study suggested.

Diabetes is a medical condition caused by insufficient insulin entering the bloodstream to

regulate the glucose, caused by cells in pancreas dying off or receptor sites clogged up by
fat and cholesterol. In some cases, diabetes is also caused by allergic reactions of cells in
the immune system.

Yoga, the ancient technique practiced for harmonized external and internal body well
being, through breath control, meditation, bodily movement and gesture..... has been well
known for people in Western world and some parts in Asia due to health benefits reported
by various respectable institutes' research and supported by health advocates.

According to the joint study lead by the Yoga and Naturopathy Government Hospital,
yoga participants showed an improvement on the blood glucose parameters in diabetes,
through motivated 'lifestyle modification practices' including maximizing adherence to
yoga should be the focus to experience any beneficial effects of yoga.

In a single group longitudinal study over 6 months sconducted at VASK yoga centre,
Bangalore., researchers after taking account of other confounders suggested that patients
with type 2 diabetes attending the yoga class over 6 months, showed a decreased fasting
blood glucose through reduced stress.

Further more, the study qualitative data also revealed that most of the participants joined
and expressed to complete the yoga programme which they belief can help cure their
diabetes. Drope out of the participants is low with most reasons related travel, ill-health
and increased work-load at office.

Interestingly and importantly, in the parallel, randomized controlled pilot study, 8-week
yoga participants showed a decreased risk of diabetes through induced weight loss and
reduced waist circumference and improved quality of life and potentially increasing
psychological well-being in compared to a walking control.

Also in compared to walking group, there are no significant difference in improvement

in fasting blood glucose, postprandial blood glucose, insulin resistance or any other
factors related to diabetes risk.

The efficacy of yoga in reduced risk and management of diabetes complications may be
attributed the ameliorated systolic and diastolic blood pressure, total cholesterol, anxiety,
depression, negative affect and perceived stress.

Other in an open label parallel three armed randomized control trial conducted among
124 recruited women with Diabetes for three months, yoga group showed a trend in
decline of fasting plasma glucose and of glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) with a
significant decrease of diastolic blood pressure and hip circumference with 90% of
women attended classes regularly.

Taking together, yoga participant with type 2 diabetes showed significantly in decreased
blood glucose, through many mechanisms, including weight loss, lower blood
cholesterol, improved physical and psychological aspects,..... People should ask
instructors for a class tailored to their needs.
