level of lactic acid as is otherwise associated during heavy exercises. CO2 levels in the blood can very easily increase in yogic breathing but it will always remain below the maximum allowable level.21 The gradual rise in CO, level also has psychophysiological effects on the individual as compared to a sudden rise or fall of CO, levels that may occur during exercise.
Besides, voluntary control by conscious effort on thoracic muscles and abdominal muscles alters the blood gas concentration. Breathing forcefully decreases the PCO,, which acts on the chemoreceptor area of the brain to modify activity of the generator neurons of respiration in the respiratory center. 19 Modification of the higher centers may result in overall improvement of pulmonary function.
In the diabetic person the fasting blood glucose concentration is almost always above 100 mg/dl and often above 150 mg/dl. Also, the glucose tolerance test is almost always abnormal. On ingestion of glucose these persons exhibit a much greater than normal rise in blood glucose level, and the glucose level falls back to control value only after 3 hrs; furthermore, it fails to fall below the control level. This slow fall of the curve and its failure to fall below the control level illustrates that the normal increase in the insulin secretion following glucose ingestion does not occur in the diabetic person. Since the concentration of the plasma glucose during oral glucose testing depends on (a) the fasting plasma glucose level, (b) the rate of absorption of glucose, and (c) its uptake by tissues and excretion in urine, it is obvious that the glucose values during the test are only partly related to the utilization of glucose by tissues.
Our findings show a clear picture of significantly reduced fasting blood sugar level in experimental group of subjects on subsequent follow up periods of one month. A significant change was noticed that the peak value of postprandial blood sugar in the experimental group subjects were comparatively lower than control group values. Similar changes were reported by Jain et al (1993)22. They studied the response pattern of NIDDM to yoga therapy and reported that changes in blood glucose and glucose tolerance following oral glucose ingestion was categorized according to a severity scale index based on area index total under curve. There was a significant reduction in hyperglycemia and area index total with decrease in oral hypoglycemia and area index total with decrease in oral hypoglycemic drugs required for
