A Study to Assess the Effectiveness of Yoga on HbA1C Level among Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Yoga has been shown to be beneficial in reducing the HbA1c level in some but not all studies. Hence the benefits of yoga on reducing the level of HbA1c clients remains inconclusive. The current study aims to evaluate the effect of yoga on HbA1c level among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. A quantitative with experimental one group pretest, posttest was adopted for the present study. 30 patients diagnosed as type 2 diabetes mellitus were recruited using purposive sampling technique and were assigned into an experimental group. A self structured questionnaire method was adopted to collect the demographic information. Followed by that, yoga was practiced after the pretest to the experimental group. The result revealed that there was a significant difference identified in pretest and posttest level of HbA1c. The calculated paired ‘t' value of t= 10.610 was found to be statistically significant at p 0.001 level. This clearly shows that there was significant difference in the level of the HbA1c between the pretest and posttest which clearly infers that administration of yoga on HbA1c among patients in type 2 diabetes mellitus was found to be effective in reducing the level of HbA1c in the post test.
