This document provides information on using yoga to manage diabetes mellitus. It discusses how specific yoga practices like pranayama breathing exercises, asanas like cobra pose and forward bends, and relaxation techniques can help control blood sugar levels by stimulating the pancreas to produce more insulin and increasing insulin sensitivity. Regular yoga practice can help supplement diabetes treatment by improving blood flow, reducing stress, and allowing better adherence to diet and exercise regimens.
