An important aspect of diabetes care is assessing symptoms related to these with the use of reliable and valid instruments. Treatment and control of Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) focuses on lifestyle changes. Yoga practice, a cost-effective method has a role in the prevention of diabetes, lowering glucose levels, and in improving health. We studied the effects of yoga practice on psychosocial factors and Quality of Life (QoL) in participants of T2DM. METHODS This is a prospective randomized hospital based trial. It was conducted on 104 participants of T2DM (age of study participants 30 - 65 years of both gender) which were randomized into two study groups viz. Control and Yoga active group. Approximately 40 minutes of yogasana, five days (minimum) a week for six months was performed in yoga active group. Fasting & postprandial...

Strategies for its diagnosis and prevalence have not been well studied in India. We performed healthcare worker-based opportunistic screening to assess feasibility for determining its prevalence. Methods A healthcare worker was trained in use of Dutch Lipid Clinic Network (DLCN) criteria for diagnosis of FHeH. Successive eligible individuals (n = 3000 of 3450 screened) presenting to biochemistry laboratories of two hospitals for blood lipid measurements were evaluated for FHeH. Cascade screening or genetic studies were not performed. Descriptive statistics are reported. Results We included 2549 participants (men 1870, women 679) not on statin therapy. Health worker screened 25–30 individuals/day in 6–10 minutes each. The mean age was 46.2±11y. Variables of DLCN criteria were more in women vs men: family history 51.1 vs 35.6%, past CAD 48.2 vs...

Diabetes alters the utilization of lipids and lipoproteins which cause diabetes-induced atherogenic dyslipidemia leading to CVD. Objectives The study aims to determine whether yoga intervention influences lipid indices in type 2 diabetes mellitus subjects. Methods A total of 104 persons with type 2 diabetes were included in this hospital-based prospective randomized trial. These were further randomized into non-yoga ( n = 52) and yoga ( n = 52) groups. Intervention of approximately 40 min yoga practice, minimum 5 times in a week over a period of 6 months, was done in the yoga group. Anthropometric parameters (body mass index (BMI) and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR)) were noted, and serum glucose (fasting and post-prandial) and lipid profile [total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), very ...
