Yoga and Diabetes

Stress is not healthy. Yoga is a formal system for managing stress. The use of Yoga as a part of the management of diabetes
has resulted in reduction in the dosage of hypogliycemic agents and insulin, control over weight, increased glucose tolerance, and reduction in hyperglycemia.*


From, B. Manyam, "Diabetes Mellitus, Ayurveda, and Yoga, Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine

But you don't need a formal program of Yoga as much as you just need to calm down. Managing diabetes is about not overeating, getting exeercise, and avoiding stress. Just those three simple things will take you a long ways.
