Abstract:
Diabetes mellitus represents a metabolic disorder of multiple etiologies characterized by high level of glucose (hyperglycaemia) with disturbances in carbohydrate, fat and protein metabolism resulting from defects in either insulin secretion, or insulin action or both. Fourteen type 2 diabetic patients, aged 43-69 years with duration of diabetes ranged 1year- 10 years were randomly selected and intervened for three months of exclusive Yoga practices. Research design used was Quasi- experimental Single Group pre test and post test. The investigation show non- significant difference in mean HbA1c values, whereas
| plasma TNF- α, BMI, systolic, diastolic blood pressure and pulse rate were significantly reduced. Thus, integration of yoga practices in day to day lifestyle of T2DM patients can be beneficial in controlling and preventing the progression of the disease and its associated complications. |
