Zhou, Z., Zhou, R., Li, K., & Zhu, Y. (2019). Effects of tai chi on physiology, balance and quality of life in patients with type 2 diabetes: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Journal of rehabilitation medicine 51

A review of research into the effects of tai chi for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus was carried out. The results indicate that tai chi is favourable in improving outcomes in some areas, e.g. fasting plasma glucose, glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c), total cholesterol, balance, and quality of life. However, differences between study methods limit the conclusions regarding some outcomes. Tai chi might be a suitable complementary therapy for individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
