Investigating the Role of Lifestyle Modifications and Yoga Intervention in the Management of Type 2 Diabetes: A Comprehensive Review

Abstract

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a long-term metabolic disorder marked by insulin resistance and impaired beta-cell function, leading to sustained high blood sugar levels. The global rise in T2DM cases is largely attributed to sedentary lifestyles, obesity, and an aging population. This study examines the role of lifestyle changes and yoga interventions in diabetes management. A systematic review of recent research highlights the impact of dietary adjustments, physical activity, and yoga postures on glycemic regulation and overall disease progression. The findings indicate that combining lifestyle modifications with yoga leads to better diabetes management outcomes. However, further exploration is necessary to personalize treatment plans and integrate advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence for optimized diabetes care.
