Yoga helps in controlling the blood glucose levels very effectively which are used for treating diabetes.

Different positions and postures meant for diabetes are found effective in treating diabetes. Due to the various twists and stretches in the body the internal organs are stretched and are subjected to some kind of strain. This increases the blood and oxygen supplies to the organs which results in their increased efficiency of the endocrine system.

Some asanas meant for the diabetes show positive effect on the functioning of the pancreas which releases insulin. This control over the insulin levels results in the control of the blood glucose levels. This way it cures the problem of diabetes. Proper diet should also be followed with the practice of these asanas then only the result will be achieved.

Some breathing techniques and meditations are also used to decrease the stress levels in the diabetes patients which helps them to recover quickly. Concentration on pancreas during the meditation process shows positive effects on the sugar levels. And thus helps in treating diabetes.
