Abstract
Aims
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of yoga intervention on the biochemical,
oxidative stress markers and inflammatory markers and sleep quality among subjects
with type 2 diabetes.
Methods
Subjects with type 2 diabetes attending a tertiary care centre for diabetes during
Feb 2017 to Oct 2019 in Chennai, India were randomly assigned to two different groups.
Group1(non-Yoga) (n = 150) was advised on simple physical exercises whereas group2(Yoga)
(n = 150) was trained and advised to do yogasanas with static loosening exercises
for 50 min for 5 days in a week. Both the groups were followed up for a period of
3 months. Anthropometric, biochemical, oxidative stress markers, inflammatory markers
and sleep quality were assessed at baseline and after follow up.
Results
There was a significant reduction in BMI, blood glucose levels, HbA1c, lipid levels,
IL6, TNFα and TBARS in Yoga group as compared to non-Yoga group. There was marked
improvement in the levels of Adiponectin, PTGIS and sleep quality among subjects practising
yogasanas.
Conclusion
Regular practice of yogasanas improved glycaemic control, oxidative stress, inflammatory
response and sleep quality among subjects with type 2 diabetes. Hence, Yogasanas can
be used as an adjuvant therapy for managing type 2 diabetes.
