Description Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) constitutes 95% of all diabetes incidence. The greatest
newlineincrease between now and 2030 will be in India, from 19.4 to 57.2 million. Yoga
newlineconstitutes one of India s many priceless gifts for its management, of perennial value to
newlinethe human family. New methods for tracking subtle changes that occur at the
newlinepsychological and prana levels before the disease sets in may go a long way to preventing
newlineit. They include tools like Gas Discharge Visualiser (GDV) and Acugraph Digital
newlineMeridian imaging system. AcuGraph is an instrument specially designed for
newlineelectrodermal measurement of meridian bio-impedance. Its particular use for the
newlineassessment of T2DM is the subject of this thesis. These instruments bring better
newlineunderstanding of how Yoga can manage, prevent and Stop Diabetes !The aim of the study was to examine the efficacy of IAYT on DM and Industrial
newlineManagers and Executives using AcuGraph.
newlineThe objectives were:
newline1. To compare T2 DM and Normal healthy subjects.
newline2. To compare Industrial Managers and Normal healthy subjects.
newline3. To compare HIV infected children and Non-infected children.
newline4. To compare Depression and Normal healthy subjects.
newline5. To examine whether changes in Acugraph readings in T2DM patients following
newlineIAYT indicate movement towards normalcy.
newline6. To examine whether the changes in Acugraph readings in Managers following
newlineSMET indicate movement towards normalcy.Two study designs were used: two group cross-sectional design for the Baseline
newlinecomparisons of Type 2 DM, Managers, HIV, Depression with their respective Normal
newlinehealthy groups. Pre-post design was adopted for Acugraph Assessment of the effect of
newlineIAYT on Type 2 DM and the effect of Stress Management of Executive Tension (SMET)
newlineon Managers.
