Abstract
Nowadays, lifestyle associated with stress, sedentary life and unhealthy diet patterns which disturbed glucose homeostasis. This altered glucose homeostasis can lead to chronic hyperglycemia, which can progress to insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. Many studies shows lifestyle modification in the form of yoga on daily basis help in reducing stress, anxiety and depression. The present study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of yoga on blood glucose, total cholesterol, triglycerides and uric acid levels in male patient of type 2 diabetes mellitus. This study is a prospective randomized control study. Out of 78 patients of diabetes, 38 were in group 1st (control group) and 40 patients were in group 2nd (Study group). The study group was prescribed oral hypoglycemia drugs followed by lifestyle modification in the form of 1h daily practice of yoga for a period of 3 months. The control group was prescribed oral hypoglycemia drugs only. All the results obtained before and after yoga and compared using SPSS 22, The groups’ mean±SD was calculated for each study variable and significant difference between means analyzed using the paired and unpaired student “t” test. p<0.05 was considered statistically significant. In the current study, mean fasting glucose levels, total cholesterol, triglycerides and uric acid were found to be significantly lower in the yoga‐medication study group relative to control group who is only on medication. Yoga, a lifestyle that includes exercise and stress management training, uses integrated approaches to address increased blood glucose, uric acid and lipid levels in diabetic patients.
