Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 5
Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a group of metabolic diseases in which there are high blood sugar levels over a prolonged period. Diabetes is due to either the pancreas not producing enough insulin or the cells of the body not responding properly to the insulin produced. Prevention and treatment involve a healthy diet, physical exercise, not using tobacco and being a weight. The aim of the study is to assess the fasting blood glucose level and lipid profile in diabetes mellitus patients in comparison with controls after 10 weeks of yoga training. In this experimental study, 30 patients with type II diabetes of age group between 45 to 60 years old were randomly selected and divided into two (n= 15) groups of experimental and control. Experimental group were subjected to regular yoga training for 10 weeks (6 sessions per week, 60 minutes per session), while the control group did not have any regular activity. The dependent variables were total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides(TG), LDL (low density lipoprotein), HDL (high density lipoprotein), and fasting blood glucose. Results indicated a significant difference in the changed levels of total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL, HDL, and blood glucose between the control and experimental groups (P ≤0.05). Keywords: yoga training , Lipid profile, Fasting blood glucose level.
