Role of Yoga in the Management of Diabetes

Yoga may serve as a complementary lifestyle intervention in diabetes management by improving insulin sensitivity, glycemic control, physical fitness, and psychological well-being. Regular practice combining asanas, pranayama, and meditation may support reductions in blood glucose, HbA1c, stress, and cardiometabolic risk factors. Its benefits are likely mediated through improved autonomic regulation, physical activity, stress reduction, and metabolic function. Yoga should complement, rather than replace, evidence-based pharmacological therapy, dietary modification, and routine diabetes monitoring.
