Role of Yoga in the Management of Diabetes

Yoga is increasingly recognized as a valuable complementary approach in the management of diabetes. Regular practice may improve glycemic control by enhancing insulin sensitivity, supporting weight management, reducing stress, and promoting overall metabolic health. Yoga combines physical postures, breathing exercises, and meditation, which can positively influence neuroendocrine function, cardiovascular health, and psychological well-being. Studies have also reported benefits in reducing blood pressure, improving lipid profiles, and enhancing quality of life among individuals with diabetes. While yoga should not replace standard medical treatment, it can serve as an effective adjunct to lifestyle modification, dietary management, and pharmacotherapy, contributing to better long-term diabetes outcomes and overall health.
