| Abstract: | The effect of 40 days yoga training in 30 hospitalized non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) patients has been investigated after stopping the medication. Blood glucose response to oral glucose load measured as area index total (AIT), glycated haemoglobin (GHb) plasma lipids and lipoproteins measurements before and after yoga training have been compared. Yoga training resulted in a significant improvement in AIT, GHb and plasma triglycerides and cholesterol levels. The data suggest that yoga training along with diet and medical management provides an important metabolic control in NIDDM and may have a role in primary prevention of diabetes mellitus. |
