Twelve patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus were hospitalized on a clinical research ward under identical conditions. A 3-h glucose tolerance test and an intravenous insulin tolerance test were performed on each patient. Half of the patients were then given 5 days of progressive relaxation training after which all patients were retested while treated patients practiced relaxation. Relaxation was found to significantly improve glucose tolerance without affecting insulin sensitivity or glucose-stimulated insulin secretory activity.
12名非胰岛素依赖型糖尿病患者在相同条件下被收治于临床研究病房。对每位患者进行了3小时葡萄糖耐量试验和静脉胰岛素耐量试验。然后，其中一半患者接受了为期5天的渐进性放松训练，之后在治疗组患者进行放松练习时，对所有患者再次进行测试。结果发现，放松显著改善了葡萄糖耐量，而不影响胰岛素敏感性或葡萄糖刺激的胰岛素分泌活性。
