AB  - BACKGROUND: Prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is increasing 
      worldwide. Many studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of yoga in improving 
      glycaemic control, whereas no studies are available showing the impact of time of 
      practice on glucose levels. The current study explores the effect of time of yoga 
      practice on glucose levels in community-dwelling adults with and without T2DM. 
      MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 189 subjects with T2DM and 121 subjects without 
      T2DM underwent a 10-day yoga program which includes practical and theory lecture 
      sessions for 60min every day, either in the morning or evening. Baseline and 
      post-intervention assessments of fasting plasma glucose (FPG) were measured on 
      day-1 and day-10, respectively. Data analysis were done using Statistical Package 
      for the Social Sciences (SPSS), version 16. RESULTS: Results of the study showed 
      that in individuals with T2DM, a significantly higher reduction in FPG was 
      observed while practicing yoga in the evening sessions than in the morning 
      sessions. Likewise, a significant reduction in FPG was observed only in women who 
      practiced yoga in the evening than in the morning, in non-diabetic healthy 
      individuals, while the reduction was not statistically significant in men. 
      CONCLUSION: Results of this study suggest that reduction in FPG level was better 
      while practicing yoga in evening than morning. Similarly, women had a better 
      reduction in blood glucose level than men.
