Effects of tai chi on physiology, balance and quality of life in patients with type 2 diabetes: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

CONCLUSION: Tai chi is effective in controlling biomedical outcomes and improving quality of life-related outcomes in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus, although no effects were observed on balance and fasting insulin. Further high-quality research is needed to elucidate the effects of tai chi between various types, the long-term effects of tai chi, the impact on respiratory function, and the association between tai chi and risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus.
