Abstract

Background: Yoga is a Sanskrit word meaning union. It is Hindu spiritual and self-discipline method for integrating the body, breath and mind. It is a tradition of health and spirituality that evolved in the Indian peninsula over a period of some 5000 years

Methods: Prospective study was conducted on 100  type 2 diabetes mellitus patients and 100  normal healthy persons. Cases were recruited from a yoga centre. Control subjects were selected from diabetic patients attending hospital. Alcoholic or smoker subjects were excluded.

Results: The mean value of blood glucose level of subjects was 7.42±1.32% and that of controls was 6.12±1.42%.  The difference between the mean value of HB1Ac level determined by unpaired  ‘t’ test was statistically highly significant (p=<0001).

Conclusion: Yoga can be used as an alternate therapy to reduce the blood glucose level along with the drug therapy.
