Diabetes is a multi-factorial disorder essentially resulting from lack of proper exercise, inappropriate food habits etc. Modern day ‘stress’ only aggravates the challenge. In this context, addition of pranayama, yoga & meditation, simply called ‘yogic practices’, to the daily regimen is a step in the right direction.

Nutrition and physical activity are important parts of a healthy lifestyle when you have diabetes. Along with other benefits, following a healthy meal plan and being active can help you to manage your blood sugar.

People with diabetes should exercise regularly for better blood sugar control and to reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Exercise can increase the consumption of glucose by muscles. Muscle movement leads to greater sugar uptake by muscle cells and lower blood sugar levels.

Hypoglycemia occurs when your blood sugar level drops too low to provide enough energy for your body’s activities. This also called as low blood sugar.

There are a number of myths about diabetes that are all too commonly reported as facts. These misrepresentations of diabetes can sometimes be harmful and lead to an unfair stigma around the condition.
