BACKGROUND: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a rapidly growing disease among the population of India. Type 2 Diabetes is closely associated with lifestyle. Proper diet and adequate exercise are the vital components for diabetic management. Yoga is one of the traditional exercises which helps diabetes management. Vestibular exercise is a simple non-invasive physical activity that plays a role in maintaining posture and equilibrium in Diabetic patients. Both vestibular exercise and yoga have a beneficial effect on Type 2 Diabetes Management. With this background, we took up this study on the effect of vestibular exercise and yoga on metabolic parameters and anthropometry in Type 2 Diabetic patients. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: The main objective of the present study was to investigate the beneficial effect of vestibular exercise and Yoga on anthropometry and metabolic parameters in Type 2 diabetic patients before and after 3 months. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 160 Male and Female Type 2 Diabetic patients in the age group between 40 to 55, with a history of Diabetes Mellitus for 5 to 10 years were selected. They were randomly allocated to four groups. 40 members were included in each group. ie, control group (Group A), vestibular exercise group (Group B), yoga group (Group C), and vestibular exercise with yoga group (Group D) Interventions were given to Group B, C and D for 3 months. Height, weight, Body Fat Percentage, BMI, Waist circumference, Hip circumference, Arm circumference, Thigh circumference, FBS, PPBS, HbA1C, Total cholesterol, Triglyceride, Low density lipoprotein, LDL, HDL, Systolic and diastolic Blood Pressure were recorded before and after the intervention in all groups. RESULTS: The analyzed values were significantly improved in the interventional groups (Group B, C and D) when compared with the control group. Mean Diabetic patients were significantly fewer in Group D when compared with all the three groups. CONCLUSIONS: Vestibular exercise along with yoga can manage Type 2 Diabetes and associated complications. We recommend a further detailed study to elucidate the therapeutic value of vestibular exercise in diabetes care.
