Impact of Yogic Interventional Therapies on Risk Factors in Individuals Diagnosed with Type II DM:A Systematic Review

The incidence of type 2 diabetes is on the rise due to sedentary lifestyles, physical inactivity, and advancing age, with India being the world's capital of diabetes. It is imperative to do a thorough evaluation of the effects of long and short term yogic practice on cases of diabetes mellitus type II. The intent of this review is to assess how yoga interventions affect risk factors among individuals with type II diabetes mellitus. The authors of this paper conducted a thorough search for pertinent research studies. The researcher chose 18 papers for critical narrative review from a total of 60 studies that were assessed from open-access electronic databases. The primary focus of the selection was on (i) articles that were published in Englishlanguage, double-blind, peer-reviewed in national and international journals between 2015 and 2024. (ii) Covering cases of Type II Diabetes Mellitus, Yogic Exercises, and Curative Therapies; (iii) conceptual, research-oriented quantitative and qualitative designs; and (iv) longitudinal control investigations. The treatise was narrowed down to 18 studies by systematically applying the exclusion criteria. Upon closer examination, it became evident that the majority of the studies examined the mental health, as well as the physiological and cognitive functioning, and overall well-being, of the general population. Studies on yoga, overall health, and stress reduction were conducted. Studies involving adult patients with Type II Diabetes mellitus and yoga-based interventional therapy are getting prominent. In conclusion, the current review suggests that yoga has a good effect on preventing measure in those who are overweight or obese which leads to Type II DM.. Overall, research indicates that engaging in the practice of yoga may lead to notable improvements in a number of parameters crucial to the management of diabetes mellitus, such as BMI, lipid levels, and glycaemic control. However, because of the methodological heterogeneity, the juvenile diabetes, kind of Yogic intervention, and the contexts used in the present study, the results are unlikely to be broadly generalised.
