Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Dental Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
Abstract: The aim of the present study was to assess the effect of Sudarshan Kriya Yoga (SKY) on type 2 diabetes patients by assessing the glucose level in GCF by using commercially available glucometer. A total of 30 participants in the age group of 21-70 years were recruited for the study. Participants were divided into two groups: Group I: Fifteen otherwise healthy individuals. Group II: 15 individuals with type 2 diabetes.All the participants underwent the part 2 SKY training (advanced) by Art of Living foundation for 7 days duration. On the first day of SKY, the GCF glucose levels were recorded by using commercially available glucometer (OneTouch Horizon®)from diabetics and nondiabetics. The same procedure was followed on the final day of SKY. The GCF glucose level in otherwise healthy patients was found to be 86.27+/-63 mg/dL before SKY and 41.40+/-15.05 mg/dL after SKY (p = 0.022). The GCF glucose level in type 2 diabetic patients was 142+/-33.87 mg/dL before SKY and after Sudarshankriya was 68.73+/-35.42 mg/dL(P <0.001). The action of SKY on glucose level in GCF was counter active in nature and felt to be distinctly different than the effect of drugs.
