Abstract
The study aimed to compare the effect of Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation stretching Vs. Aerobic training on HbA1c levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Forty sedentary type 2 diabetes mellitus patients (22 males & 18 females) were randomly allocated in Aerobic Training group(n=20) and Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation stretching group(n=20) with twelve-week protocol for both the groups. Glycosylated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) was measured before and after the intervention to examine the effect on blood glucose level. Both Aerobic training and Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation stretching induced decrease in blood glucose levels (Glycosylated Hemoglobin HbA1c) after the protocol (P< .001). There was no significant difference between the two groups (P>0.001). This study shows that both Aerobic training and Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation stretching reduced blood glucose levels. There is no significant difference between the two interventions. Proprioceptive neuromuscular stretching may be an alternative to aerobic training to those patients who are unable to perform aerobic training to control blood glucose levels.
