In this study only inter-group comparison was made with the aim to evaluate the net effect of Preksha Yoga Therapy vis-à-vis normal activity, at various follow-up stages. One tailed 't' test was applied and graded significance level was denoted as P<0.05 (*), P<0.01 (**), P <0.001 (***) which was taken from probability significant task. Results
The fasting and postprandial blood glucose levels have shown a similar range in both control and experimental group of subject at 0 day of observation which was quite obvious because none of the subjects of these two groups were given any specific treatment. The mean FG level was 184.1 + 90.8 and 185.1 + 90.8 mg/dl in control group and experimental group of subjects respectively, where as the PPG level was 269.5+88.4 mg/dl in experimental group and 266.5 +91.49 mg/dl in control group (Table 1). After one month of the therapy a decline was noticed in both fasting and postprandial blood glucose in the experimental group of subjects where the mean value of FG was reported to be 135.5 79.8 mg/dl and that of PPG was 164.84 103.1 mg/dl. However, in the control group the mean FG was 183.5 90.7 mg/dl, and PPG was 267.1 2102 mg/dl. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant.
