Could laughter yoga be a therapeutic approach for type 2 diabetic glycemic control ? FrontEndocrinol laughter yoga therapeutic diabetes type2 t2d T2D
By Tarun Sai LomteApr 19 2023Reviewed by Lily Ramsey, LLM A recent study published in the Frontiers in Endocrinology Journal investigated the effects of laughter yoga on glycemic control in people with type 2 diabetes.
Another study revealed that improvements in glycemic control were not achieved despite the higher utilization of new glucose-lowering medications, suggesting that prevailing therapeutic strategies might be insufficient for glycemic control. Patients were excluded if they had active coronary heart disease, stroke, vascular complications, and other severe illnesses. The standard therapy for diabetes continued among participants during the study.
Participants were randomly assigned to intervention and control arms. Baseline differences between groups were assessed using chi-squared and independent sample t-tests for categorical and continuous variables, respectively. The average Hb1Ac levels dropped from 7.07% at baseline to 6.82% at week 12 in the intervention group. In controls, the Hb1Ac levels showed a marginal increase from 7.1% to 7.26%. This difference in Hb1Ac levels was statistically significant, even when adjusted for BMI, age, and baseline levels.
