Meditation and Diabetes

Plenty of studies have shown that meditation helps bring down the blood glucose (sugar) levels of diabetic patients.

For example, in 2008, Thai researcher Chaiopanont did a study with 50 type-2-diabetic patients to whom he introduced and taught meditation after breakfast. The result revealed that meditation practice and self care help to lower the blood glucose level significantly in type-2-diabetic patients after having meal. He also showed that meditation reduces the systolic and diastolic blood pressure in diabetic patients.

In another study, Rosenzweiq and others (2007) observed the HbA1c (glycosylated hemoglobin) levels in the blood of diabetic patients. HbA1c is glucose-bound hemoglobin found in the blood of diabetic patients due to the excess glucose present in blood. The results showed that meditation not only helps to lower the HbA1c level in blood but also helps to reduce the blood pressure in diabetic patients. In addition the study found that meditation causes decrease in depression, anxiety, and general psychological distress which are considered as causative factors for imbalanced glucose control among diabetics.
