Abstract

Diabetes represents a cluster of metabolic diseases characterized by high levels of blood glucose. India, the second most popular country of the world, has been severely affected by the global diabetes epidemic. Poor life style choices & inadequate reliefs of chronic stress are key contributors in the development & progression of diabetes. The science of yoga is an ancient one. Yoga has considered all aspects of diabetes (physical, emotional & mental). The aim of the yogic treatment in the management of diabetes is two folds: (a) to stimulate the pancreatic cells to produce adequate amount of insulin. (b) To reduce the insulin resistance. All these suggest that yogic practices have an important role in prevention of diabetes.
