Study finds mind-body practices lower bloodsugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes KeckSchool_USC
Only 51% of patients with type 2 diabetes achieve the hemoglobin A1c <7% target. Mind and body practices have been increasingly used to improve glycemic control among patients with type 2 diabetes, but studies show inconsistent efficacy. The authors conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the association between mind and body practices, and mean change in HbA1c and fasting blood glucose in patients with type 2 diabetes.
Reviewers extracted data for meta-analysis. Restricted maximum likelihood random-effects modeling was used to calculate the mean differences and summary effect sizes. The authors assessed heterogeneity using Cochran'sstatistics. Funnel plots were generated for each outcome to gauge publication bias. Weighted linear models were used to conduct study-level meta-regression analyses of practice frequency.The authors identified 587 articles with 28 meeting the inclusion criteria.
