| description | Introduction: Diabetes mellitus is one of the metabolic disorders which is characterised by chronic hyperglycaemia due to insulin resistance or deficiency or both. Though a hydrotherapy text reported the use of Cold Abdominal Pack (CAP) for various metabolic disorders, there is a lack of scientific evidence for the use of CAP in a metabolic disorder like Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). Aim: To evaluate the immediate effect of CAP on blood glucose level and cardiovascular functions in patients with T2DM. Materials and Methods: In this prospective single group pretest and post-test study, a total of 20 male T2DM subjects with the mean age of 51.75±7.71 years were recruited from June 2016 to December 2016. Study was conducted in SVYASA University, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India. All the subjects underwent CAP for 20 minutes. Assessments were taken before and immediately after the intervention using standard methods. Statistical analysis was performed using Student's paired samples t-test with the use of Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS), version 16.0. Results: Results of this study showed a significant reduction in random blood glucose level (p=0.011), pulse rate/heart rate (p=0.028), systolic blood pressure (p=0.023), mean arterial pressure (p=0.010), rate pressure product (p=0.006), and double product (p=0.003) compared to its respective pre-test and no such significant changes were observed in diastolic blood pressure (p=0.095) and pulse pressure (p=0.306). Conclusion: Results of this study suggest that 20 minutes of CAP might be effective in improving blood glucose level and cardiovascular functions of patients with T2DM. |
