Aims/IntroductionA meta‐analysis was carried out to evaluate the efficacy of yoga in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus.Materials and MethodsThe PubMed, EMBASE and Cochrane databases were searched to obtain eligible randomized controlled trials. The primary outcome was fasting blood glucose, and the secondary outcomes included glycosylated hemoglobin A1c, total cholesterol, high‐density lipoprotein cholesterol, low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglyceride and postprandial blood glucose. Weighted mean differences and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated. The I 2 statistic represented heterogeneity.ResultsA total of 12 randomized controlled trials with a total of 864 patients met the inclusion criteria. The pooled weighted mean differences were −23.72 mg/dL (95% CI −37.78 to −9.65; P = 0.001; I 2 = 82%) for fasting blood glucose and −0.47% (95% CI −0.87 to −0.07; P = 0.02; I 2 = 82%) for hemoglobin A1c. The weighted mean differences were −17.38 mg/dL (95% CI −27.88 to −6.89; P = 0.001; I 2 = 0%) for postprandial blood glucose, −18.50 mg/dL (95% CI −29.88 to −7.11; P = 0.001; I 2 = 75%) for total cholesterol, 4.30 mg/dL (95% CI 3.25 to 5.36; P < 0.00001; I 2 = 10%) for high‐density lipoprotein cholesterol, −12.95 mg/dL (95% CI −18.84 to −7.06; P < 0.0001; I 2 = 37%) for low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol and −12.57 mg/dL (95% CI −29.91 to 4.76; P = 0.16; I 2 = 48%) for triglycerides.ConclusionsThe available evidence suggests that yoga benefits adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. However, considering the limited methodology and the potential heterogeneity, further studies are necessary to support our findings and investigate the long‐term effects of yoga in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients.

Background: Hypertension and dyslipidemia are one of the most prevalent cardiovascular disorders affecting 20% of world’s population. There is emerging data that yoga therapies may be useful in managing modest elevations in BP. Yoga, specific yogic exercise (Sudarshan kriya) taught as a training protocol under Art of living course (AOL), is especially attractive as a candidate therapy in the management of elevated BP because of its combination of gentle physical activity. Hence, this study was undertaken to compare the effects of SDK on blood lipid levels.Methods: A total of 300 patients of hypertension and prehypertension were taken in the study where control group were given drugs treatment and life style modification and yoga group additionally had undergone yoga training. Lipid levels were estimated in both groups at entry, 06 months and 12 months and analyzed.Results: Lipid levels at entry were same in both while the yoga therapy group showed decrease in TG, LDL and VLDL at six months and 12 months but decrease was not significant. HDL levels showed significant increase in yoga group (P<0.05) at six months which was maintained at 12 months more so in diabetic patients.Conclusions: Yoga therapy has beneficial effect on serum lipid levels and should be included in therapy along with other measures.

“…The duration of intervention in these studies was between 8 weeks and 9 months. Among the ten studies that looked at the effects of yoga on secondary outcome variables, nine showed improvement over a period ranging between 8 weeks and 6 months in either some or all the outcome variables they assessed [44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52] . Though majority of the studies showed significant improvement in the primary and secondary outcome variables, the reasons for non-significant difference in outcomes in yoga group compared to control group could be attributed to the variance in sample size, duration and type of intervention, and possible variations in the quality of training provided and performance/adherence levels of the participants.…”

Diabetes mellitus is a multifactorial metabolic disorder which requires lifestyle interventions for its management. A number of controlled yoga trials in last few years have observed lifestyle interventions especially yoga to be efficacious in the management of diabetes. The aim of this study is to systematically review the research conducted in the field to understand the effectiveness of yoga on diabetes mellitus. A systematic search was done using search engines such as PubMed, Google Scholar, Cochrane Library, MEDLINE, CAMbase, PsycINFO and IndMED. A total of 212 articles were selected, of which 166 were excluded and 46 controlled trials (CTs) were included in the review. Among the 46 CTs, 31 studies were categorized based on the primary outcome variables, 10 were based on the secondary outcome variables and 5 studies were control studies. Risk of bias assessment was conducted on all the studies. The review demonstrates significant improvement due to yoga practice in the primary outcome measures such as blood glucose levels along with secondary outcome measures such as cardiac autonomic variables, lipid profile, liver enzymes, respiratory variables, quality of life, anxiety and depression. Thus yoga has not only been found to be beneficial for improved glycaemic control, but also for the wide variety of symptoms associated with the diabetes. Despite this evidence, it is worth mentioning that further gold standard randomized controlled trials are warranted with more specific sets of practice, to prescribe yoga especially as an alternative treatment for the management of diabetes.
