AB  - Yoga is increasingly used as an adjunctive therapy in the management of Type-2 
      Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). The present study aims to systematically evaluate the 
      literature and perform a meta-analysis on the effects of yoga practice compared 
      to physical exercise in the management of T2DM. Data were obtained using a 
      stepwise search process using keywords in the following online medical databases; 
      PubMed, Web of Science and Scopus. All controlled clinical trials involving 
      patients with T2DM, comparing yoga as an intervention with physical exercise and 
      evaluating glycaemic control and other outcomes between the intervention and 
      control groups were included in the analysis. Eight studies were eligible to be 
      included in the systematic review. In total, 842 participants were assigned to a 
      Yoga intervention or a control group with an Exercise intervention and the age 
      range of participants was 30-78 years. A significant reduction in FBG 
      (15.16 mg/dl), PPBG (28.66 mg/dl), HbA1c (0.39%) and BMI (0.71 kg/m2) was noted 
      in the intervention group ('Yoga') compared to the control group ('Physical 
      Exercise') in the pooled analysis. We did not observe any significant difference 
      between the two groups for lipid parameters, other body composition measures (WC 
      and WHR) and Blood Pressure. In conclusion, our results show that Yoga has 
      beneficial effects on glycaemic control in comparison to physical exercise in 
      T2DM However, individual studies showed considerable heterogeneity. Hence, 
      further well-controlled randomized trials are required prior to drawing 
      conclusions about the benefits of yoga in comparison to physical exercise.
