      Diabetes Mellitus: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

AB  - Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a fastest evolving metabolic disorder and 
      India houses second highest number of patients with diabetes after China. 
      Cardiovascular diseases are the major cause of mortality among patients with 
      T2DM. Yoga is an ancient Indian practice that proves to be effective for patients 
      with diabetes. The present systematic review and meta-analysis has been conducted 
      to see the benefits of yoga on blood pressure, lipid profile, and anthropometric 
      measures among patients with T2DM. The articles were extracted from three 
      databases - PubMed, The Cochrane library, and Google scholar. Only English 
      language articles, with PEDro score>/=6, were included in the current study. The 
      duplicates were removed using Mendeley. Fourteen randomized controlled trials 
      (RCTs) and three 3 non-RCTs were included in the analysis. The meta-analysis was 
      done using Review Manager 5.3. The results reveal that yoga is effect in 
      improving blood pressure (P<0.01), lipid profile (P<0.01) except HDL (P=0.06), 
      and anthropometric measures (P<0.01) except waist-hip ratio (P=0.79). 
      Heterogeneity was also high for most of the variables. It may be concluded from 
      the results that the yoga is effective in improving of blood pressure, lipid 
      profile, and anthropometric measures. However, high heterogeneity sought the need 
      of more high quality RCTs to affirm these findings.
