Background: Diabetes mellitus is a syndrome complex characterized by impaired carbohydrate, protein and fat metabolism. Methods: Prospective study was conducted on 100 type 2 diabetes mellitus patients and 100 normal healthy persons. Cases were recruited from a yoga centre. Control subjects were selected from diabetic patients attending hospital. Alcoholic or smoker subjects were excluded. Results: The mean value of blood glucose level of subjects was 136.4±9.42 mg/dl and that of controls was 183.2±9.16 mg/dl.  The difference between the mean value of fasting blood glucose level determined by unpaired  ‘t’ test was statistically highly significant (p=<0001). The mean value of blood glucose level of subjects was 6.32±1.35 % and that of controls was 7.46±1.41%.  The difference between the mean value of HB1Ac level determined by unpaired  ‘t’ test was statistically highly significant (p=<0001). Conclusion: Yoga can be used as an alternate therapy to reduce the blood glucose level along with the drug therapy. Keywords: Yoga, Diabetics, Drugs.

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a clinical syndrome characterized by hyperglycemia because of the absolute or relative deficiency of insulin. It requires frequent monitoring of glucose levels in the body which requires multiple pricking at regular intervals. It could be physically and psychologically traumatic to the patient. This necessitates an alternative to measure the glucose level. This study aims to correlate the salivary glucose level with the blood glucose level in diabetes patients. The cross-sectional study was conducted in 60 patients. Patients were categorized into two groups as Group A- 30 patients with diabetes and Group B- 30 healthy subjects. The blood and saliva samples were collected from the patients and the glucose levels were recorded. All these data were entered in Microsoft Excel and analyzed statistically using SPSS software. The mean (±SD) value of the random blood and salivary glucose level in diabetic patients were found to be 251.4±82.66 and 2.85±0.85 respectively and the mean blood and salivary glucose level in healthy subjects were found to be 101.12±10.14 and 0.875±0.13 respectively. There was a significant correlation between the salivary glucose levels and blood glucose levels among diabetes (p-0.00) and healthy individuals (p-0.00). From the data, the diagnostic accuracy was found to be 100%. Thus, Saliva could be used as an alternative to blood for monitoring the glucose status in diabetes patients.

This study aims to investigate the influence of patient characteristics on the choice of insulin therapy in type 2 diabetes mellitus outpatients in Denpasar municipality. This is a descriptive analysis study using the patient's medical records as research material. Patients who meet inclusion and exclusion criteria are being recorded based on their medical records. Characteristics that are taken are age, gender, fasting blood glucose level (FBG), 2-hour postprandial blood glucose level (2-hours PPG) and HbA1c values of patients. Types of insulin therapy gained from patient medical records and drug use report in pharmacy. Characteristics data and type of insulin analyzed using correlation test to determine the effect of the patient characteristics on the selection of insulin therapy. 43 patients became the research subject. Males gendered patients (72.09%) and the patients aged less than 65 years (90.70%) are the dominant characteristics of the research subjects. The average value of FBG of patients is 212 mg / dL; 2-hours PPG 280 mg / dL and HbA1c 10.1%. There is a correlation between sex, age, HbA1c value and FBG with the type of insulin obtained by patients (p <0.05). Based on the results of statistical tests, age and gender have a strong correlation on insulin choice, HbA1c and FBG level has a moderate influence and 2-hours PPG have a weak correlation.

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) belongs to a group of metabolic disorders. It is characterised by Chronic Hyperglycemia and disturbance of carbohydrate, lipid and protein metabolism. The cause for this condition arises from a disease in insulin secretion. The International Diabetes Federation (IDF) expresses that worldwide 415 million individuals have Diabetes Mellitus. It also predicts that by 2040 this will ascend to 642 billion. The other prediction is that 77% of individuals with Diabetes live in middle and low-income countries. 12% of the worldwide population spend on the treatment of Diabetes.
