Item EFFECT OF YOGA INTERVENTION ON SLEEP QUALITY AMONG PRE DIABETICAND DIABETIC PARTICIPANTS – A SINGLE GROUP PRE-POST STUDY(S-VYASA, 2018-05) Kumari, BarkhaUrban India is presently experiencing an upright rush in lifestyle diseases such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension and ischemic heart disease. India is the second largest country which has higher number of diabetes patients .The shift in epidemiology from communicable diseases to non-communicable diseases indicates that the urban population is also at a high-risk for developing such diseases. This shift is due to the change in sleep quality. The need of this study is due to the underlying fact that yoga has been an effective intervention in the management of lifestyle related diseases based on earlier studies. The primary goal of this study is to assess the efficacy of yoga intervention on the participants’ health status. A diabetes camp was conducted in urban Karnataka. Single group pre-post design was used in this study. Fifty participants were interested to participate in the study and attend the 3 months yoga program for two hours daily. The number of samples who had undergone regular yoga practice was 20. The intervention included breathing, loosening, suryanamaskar, asanas, and pranayama, relaxation and meditation techniques. Participants’ health status was assessed before and after intervention. The initial value of the result is 15.5±3.74.and the obtained final value of the result is 13.95±3.33. The effect size of the result is 0.43and the change in percentage is observed as 10%. The p-value is 0.02 which shows a significant result in the participants’ sleep quality. The sleep quality of the participants showed a significant result in the pre-diabetics and diabetics. The significant value might have been attributed to the regular 3 months yoga practices of the pre diabetic and diabetic participants. Present study shows that 90 days of yoga intervention program bring a significant change in the participants’ sleep quality.Item To study the prevalence and IAYT effect on diabetes and highrisk population in rural Karnataka - a survey and pre-post design(S-Vyasa, 2017-01-16) Sireesha EmmanniBackground Rural India is currently experiencing a great spurt in lifestyle diseases such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension and ischemic heart disease. The shift in epidemiology from communicable diseases to non-communicable diseases indicates that the rural population is also at a high-risk for developing diabetes mellitus. Introduction The aim of present study is to estimate the prevalence of diabetes and high, medium, and low risk in rural population of Karnataka. Furthermore to study the effect of Integrated Approach of Yoga therapy on participants with Diabetes and high-risk population. Methods Within the chosen villages, people aged above 18 were surveyed using mobile application. Low, medium, and high risk for diabetes were graded using Indian Diabetes Risk Score. Following which 43 (diabetic=13, High risk=4, Medium risk =22, low risk=4) interested people attended yoga classes taught by trained therapist for 10 days. The module included breathing exercises, loosening, suryanamaskara, and asanas, meditation, and relaxation techniques. The assessments were carried out day one prior intervention as well as on 12th day. Vital parameters like FBS (using Hemocue machine), weight, waist circumference, Blood pressure were assessed. Psychological parameters such as Fatigue severity scale, Emotion Regulation scale, Satisfaction of life scale, and Sleep quality tools were used to measure the effect of IAYT. All the participants were asked practice regularly in home, every Sundays the therapist use to visit to monitor and encourage the practice.

Method: Thirty participants with diabetes recruited from Arogyadhama, Holistic Health Care Home in Prashanti kutiram, at Bangalore, were checked for DNA damage before and after 7 days of IAYT intervention. Age range of participants was from 30 to 65 years. Intervention consisted of intensive residential yoga program comprising of asana (physical posture), pranayama, meditation, devotional sessions, diet modification and interactive sessions on philosophical concepts of yoga. The damage in the genomic DNA of peripheral blood mononuclear cells was assayed by single cell gel electrophoresis method following the previously described protocol of Singh et al. Analysis of the data was done using CASP and excel. Result: After one week of IAYT program, 63% of participants showed lessening in the DNA damage (decrease in post tail length) after intervention while in 37% the DNA damage increased (increase in post tail length). The percentage of decrease of tail length was significantly higher (37%, comparing the percentage of means of pre and post) than the percentage of increase of tail length (19%). The data of both positive and negative change showed normal distribution. Conclusion: DNA Damage has a direct link with defects in metabolism, non-communicable disease like diabetes and stress. There was significant reduction in the tail length of DNA and the total comet length after IAYT intervention which signifies a better improvement in the DNA damage. Whether this was achieved because of reduction in stress or through other physiological pathway is not know. Normall distribution of data shows that the damage or betterment of damage, are both not a chance occurring in this data but first of a kind report of Yoga influencing the DNA repair mechanism. Also, in this novel study we have made findings to differentiate between short and long fragment DNA damage through data analysis.Item Risk of diabetes and prevelance among tribals in Karnataka - a survey(S Vyasa, 2015-01-12) Mallika, B. K.Background: Increasing diabetes mellitus among the people of India, particularly in people of tribal areas due to the ignorance about diabetes and health condition, it is essential to implement a low cost screening method, to manage the diabetes mellitus through diabetes management program in tribal areas of Karnataka. We found a positive result by using oral glucose tolerance testing (OGTT) alone, or following a positive result from the Indian Diabetic Risk Score (IDRS) in tribal people. Aim: Determine diabetes mellitus prevalence population in Karnataka Tribal Areas. Methodology: 555 populations with an age range above 30yrs, people in Machuru village and Machuru Hadi are surveyed Indian Diabetes Risk Score (IDRS) and their blood samples were collected and tested with the help of Gulcometer (FBS/RBS) to know the number of Diabetes. Result: There were 160 participants; out of those 68 participants were male and categorized, which are 29 Normal participant with a mean range of 88.79 (± 16.82), 6 Pre-DM participant with a mean range of 134.17 (± 25.58), 2 DM participant with a mean range of 275.00 (±195.16). 92 participants female categorized, which are 51 Normal participant with a mean range of 97.69 (± 19.69), 12 Pre-DM participant with a mean range of 140.00 (±27.96), 3 DM participant with a mean range of 225.33 (±82.97). Conclusion: Prevalence of diabetes risk is high in tribals.Item Impulsivity in diabetes(S Vyasa, 2015-01-12) Kumar, R. KrishnaDiabetes mellitus (DM), is a group of metabolic condition characterized by high blood sugar levels over a prolonged period. 1.1 Prevalence of Diabetes: In the world, in 2010, 285 million people had diabetes as per the estimation, with type 2 diabetes making up about 90% of the cases. In 2013, according to International Diabetes Federation, an estimated 381 million people had diabetes. Its prevalence is increasing rapidly, and by 2030, this number is estimated to almost double. Diabetes mellitus occurs throughout the world, but is more common (especially type 2) in the more developed countries. The greatest increase in prevalence is, however, expected to occur in Asia and Africa, The increase in incidence in developing countries follows the trend of urbanization and lifestyle changes, perhaps most importantly a "Western-style" diet. According to international diabetic foundation, India is a leading country in the prevalence of diabetes in the world. It is estimated the more than 62 million Indians which is more than 7.1% of India's Adult Population. An estimate shows that nearly 1 million Indians die due to Diabetes every year. The average age on onset is 42.5 years.5 The high incidence is attributed to a combination of genetic susceptibility plus adoption of a high-calorie, lowactivity lifestyle by India's growing middle class. Additionally, a study by the American Diabetes Association reports that India will see the greatest increase in people diagnosed with diabetes by 2030. 1.2 Psychological aspects of living with DM There is strong relation of psychological aspects with DM 9. This correlation is bidirectional and implications of the everyday management of diabetes can also have an impact on a person’s psychological wellbeing.9 At some point of their lifetime diabetic people have a diagnosable psychiatric disorder and there is coping difficulties, due to the daily stress of living with the disease. Recently it is reported that many chronic disorders are strongly associated with psychological conditions like shock, anxiety, depression , guilt, stress, mood swings etc. This affects cognition, personal and social relation. Being a chronic disease diabetes is characterized by many psychological issues and the effects of stress on its control The cause of these psychological issues could be because of implication of diabetic management, poor quality of life, diabetic complications, uncontrolled sugar levels, comorbidities, and stress induced by disease itself. It is reported that anxiety is and emotional distress are the most common psychological issues in diabetes. Emotional barriers as a role in affecting the psychological aspect with Diabetes. It was reported that the prevalence of psychiatric diseases is more common in diabetes than healthy population. Other psychological conditions which are frequently observed in diabetes are Mood disorder, Bipolar disorder and cognitive impairment like poor memory, attention deficit, problems of perception etc. It also indicates that among the DM there is possibility of Risk Factors for Poor Cognitive Performance Hence, The Psychosocial problems appear to be common among diabetic patients worldwide. Addressing these problems may improve diabetes outcomes. The implications of a diagnosis of diabetes on the person and their family are immense.Item Mindfulness in diabetes(S Vyasa, 2015-01-12) Jeevithaa, S.Diabetes mellitus (DM), also known as sugar diabetes or simply diabetes, is a group of metabolic diseases in which there are high blood sugar levels over a prolonged period.1 It is a chronic disease that occurs when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin, or when the body cannot effectively use the insulin it produces2 1.1 Prevalence of Diabetes: In the world, in 2010, 285 million people had diabetes as per the estimation, with type 2 diabetes making up about 90% of the cases.3 In 2013, according to International Diabetes Federation, an estimated 381 million people had diabetes.4 Its prevalence is increasing rapidly, and by 2030, this number is estimated to almost double.5 Diabetes mellitus occurs throughout the world, but is more common (especially type 2) in the more developed countries. The greatest increase in prevalence is, however, expected to occur in Asia and Africa, The increase in incidence in developing countries follows the trend of urbanization and lifestyle changes, perhaps most importantly a "Western-style" diet.4 According to international diabetic foundation, India is a leading country in the prevalence of diabetes in the world.6 It is estimated the more than 62 million Indians which is more than 7.1% of India's Adult Population7. An estimate shows that nearly 1 million Indians die due to Diabetes every year.2 The average age on onset is 42.5 years.5 The high incidence is attributed to a combination of genetic susceptibility plus adoption of a high-calorie, low-activity lifestyle by India's growing middle class8. Additionally, a study by the American Diabetes Association reports that India will see the greatest increase in people diagnosed with diabetes by 2030.9 1.2 Complications of diabetes: Complications of diabetes include: • Heart Disease – People with diabetes have a higher risk for heart attack and stroke. • Eye Complications – People with diabetes have a higher risk of blindness and other vision problems. • Kidney Disease – Diabetes can damage the kidneys and may lead to kidney failure. • Nerve Damage (neuropathy) – Diabetes can cause damage to the nerves that run through the body. Foot Problems – Nerve damage, infections of the feet, and problems with blood flow to the feet can be caused by diabetes. • Skin Complications – Diabetes can cause skin problems, such as infections, sores, and itching. Skin problems are sometimes a first sign that someone has diabetes. • Dental Disease – Diabetes can lead to problems with teeth and gums, called gingivitis and periodontitisItem To study the safety and immediate effect of yogic gut cleansing technique in diabetes patients (a self as control study)(S Vyasa, 2015-01-12) Seema PatilBackground: Hatha Yoga emphasizes the role of cleaning the body through various kriyas (cleansing techniques) as a preparation for maintaining a healthy body. Health is of the utmost importance for spiritual progress.Cleaning the gut is one of the first steps in the practice of Hatha Yoga. Studies have shown that Varisar Dhauti (LSP = Laghu Shankha Prakshalan) reduces Blood preassure, pain in the lumbar region, disability, anxiety and depression and increases spinal flexibility and quality-of-life in chronic low back pain (CLBP) patients. Observations during the pilot studies on the yogic gut-cleansing technique called Varisar Dhauti, popularly known as laghu shankha prakshalana, appeared to be one of the most feasible, adoptable, detoxifying and safe methods in immediate reduction of (FBS) Fasting Blood Sugar levels in Diabetes patients. Objective: To study the safety and effect of Varisar Dhauti, the yogic gut-cleansing technique in Diabetes patients. Materials and Methods: This self as control study recruited 30 mild to moderate Diabetic patients.The study involved drinking lukewarm water (with or without a herbal combination of Triphala) followed by a set of specific yoga postures that would apparently move the water through the digestive tract and hold it, as per the capacity. The practice was administered on the 4thand 6th day. In this self as control study, 30participants who satisfied the selection criteria were given LSP with normal water and Tripahal water. All 30subjects were assessed on two occasions (4th and 6th day) before and after the practice of LSP either with normal water orwith Triphala water. Results of these two days have been analysed. Results: Data were analysed for fasting blood sugar levels in diabetes group after Varisar Dhauti ( Laghu Shanka Prakshalana = LSP), the data were normally distributed in Triphala water LSP, paired sample T-test was conducted and the P- value is 0.001. and the data of Normal water LSP were not normally distributed, wilcoxan signed rank test was conducted and the P-value is 0.001, so reduction in fasting blood sugar level is more significant in Triphal water LSP compared to Normal water LSP. There were no adverse effects reported during or after the Varisar Dhauti. The number of visits to clear the bowel after the procedure was significantly higher after Varisar Dhauti with Triphala water than with normal water. There was an increase in comfort level and quality of sleep after both the sessions. Note: Sampling was not randomized control, it was convenient sampling. Our aim was not to generalize the results of the study to the population. CONCLUSION: This study provides the first evidence of immediate blood sugar levels afterYogic gut-cleansing kriyas. The study makes it clear thatboth Normal water and Triphala water can be used safely in patients suffering from DiabetesMellitus. Addition of Triphala to the water of Varisar Dhauti provides better cleansing and significant reduction in FBS. Thus Triphala seems to be more beneficial in reduction FBS as an immediate effect. Three days of practice of exercises of the same specific set prior to the experiment was more useful in improving the subjective and probably even the objective measures of health in patients although this design has had a very high number of dropouts.Item Efficacy of yoga on type II diabetes on residents of Kempegowdanagar, Bengaluru(S Vyasa, 2015-01-12) Sreenivasa, H. R.Madhumeha is a variety of Vataja prameha, which closely resembles the disease Diabetes Mellitus. In the recent time, type II diabetes has become a global disease. Diabetes mellitus is now becoming as the “king of diseases” due to its complex involvement, complex metabolic disorders and varied clinical presentations. Diabetes mellitus causes significant mortality and morbidity through cardiovascular, renal, eye diseases and limb amputations. Diabetes mellitus is the leading reason of end stage renal disease, a chief cause of non-traumatic amputations, responsible for 30% of preventable blindness and a leading cause of cardiovascular mortality. 1.1 Vyutpatti, nirukti and paribasha Vyutpatti The term Madhumeha is contained of two words Madhu and Meha. The term Meha is derived from “mih” Dhatu meaning “ksharane” or “to excrete”. The word Madhu is derived form “man” Dhatu meaning “mana avabodhane”. When an upasarga “pra” is added to “mih’ Dhatu the word prameha is obtained. Here “pra” upasarga means “prakarshena” or in excess. Nirukti (Caraka Samhita) prakarçena mehati kñarati véryadiraneneti Meaning: Excessive excretion of urine and other substances through the urinary passages is termed as prameha. (Caraka Samhita) madhuram yacca meheçu prayo madhviva mehati Meaning: The condition wherein the urine of a person resembles honey is called Madhumeha.

Madhumeha is variety of Vataja prameha wherein the excreted urine resembles honey in characteristics.Item Part I integrated approach of yoga in Bhagavadgita, part II a study of the prevalence of diabetes in Valayanad village, Kozhikode, Kerala(S Vyasa, 2015-01-12) Sumathy, MThe word yoga has a wide variety of connotations ranging from absorption in the ultimate spirit to an Ayurvedic recipe. In common parlance, yoga means the yoga system of philosophy propounded by Patanjali which is one among the Shad-darsanas of ancient Indian philosophical systems. Of these yoga alone has the unique distinction of being accepted as a practical spiritual science while the others are mostly speculative in character. Yoga presents large number of yoga practices- Jnana, Karma, Raja, Bhakti, Laya, Hatha, kundalini, Swara, Nada, Dhyana and Japa are some of the numerous methods of yoga. Though there are different yoga practices, there is a unified goal in these diversified approaches- Moksha. The Bhagavadgita, the manifest quintessence of all the teachings of the vedic scripture’s integrates all the diversified streams of yoga into the ultimate supreme aim of bringing a person to the level of sattva. The common features of all the various streams of yoga are the one that brings unity among all these diversities which forms the foundation of Indian culture. It says that, there is consciousness at the base of everything and everything is nothing but the specific manifestation of the same consciousness. This idea helps to unite not only India but the whole universe. The Gita upholds and expatiates on the several paths leading to union with the divine. As such we find the ideas of all the principal yogas distributed all over the book, though there are specific chapters: bearing the name of Karma yoga, bhakti yoga, jnana yoga etc.
