Abstract

BACKGROUND: Type 2 diabetes is a challenging and demanding chronic illness to manage. To handle medicines, nutrition, and exercise, diabetes patients must have a high level of dexterity. As a result, in a low-middle-income nation like India, low-cost therapies that empower patients and build on available resources are needed to assist control diabetes. As a result, we looked into the feasibility and impact of kriya yoga (Vamanadhuati), on insulin resistance and other outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes. METHODS: 100 diabetic patients were selected and randomly divided into study group (n=50), and control group (n=50). The kriya yoga (Vamandhauti) was performed twice a week for 2 weeks (4 times). In order to measure the insulin resistance, HOMA-IR, Fasting insulin and fasting blood glucose level wasestimated. The data were analyzed by paired and unpaired student "t" test at significance level of p<0.05. RESULTS: Kriya Yoga (Vamanadhuti) participants had significantly greater reductions in HOMA – IR, fasting insulin and blood glucose level after two weeks of intervention. In addition, they also showed significant reduction in systolic and diastolic blood pressure compared to control group patients. CONCLUSION: The findings indicate that the DYP intervention could improve the metabolic status of the high-diabetes-risk individuals with respect to their glucose tolerance and lipid levels, partially explained by the reduction in abdominal obesity.
