Abstract

Diabetes has become an epidemic for past few years worldwide. It is a condition when blood glucose level rises abnormally and can’t be used by the cells of the body because of no or poor production of the insulin by the pancreas. It can lead to serious damage to the heart, eyes, kidneys, feet, blood vessels and nerves over time, if proper care has not been taken in time. Being in yoga profession, I have come across a few people who are diabetes patients of type II category. I make them practice some simple yoga postures combined with breathing techniques to see the change in their condition. All the practitioners reported positive results. However, one case report has been taken for this article. A male subject of age 67 years, with yogic intervention overcomes his fluctuating sugar level and the same have come down to normal range only after a few months of practice. Diabetes is one of the major non-communicable killer diseases nowadays, but Yoga can be a key support to improve the condition with other health care treatment. People of varied capacity and age groups may practice them for the management of diabetes.
