We love a good review paper on a Sunday morning! Linked here is a new review on the place of yoga in treatment for type 2 diabetes.
In type 2 diabetes, the pancreas doesn't produce enough insulin or the body's cells don't react to insulin. This means that glucose stays in the blood and isn't used as fuel for energy. Type 2 diabetes is often associated with obesity and tends to be diagnosed in older people. It's far more common than type 1 diabetes.
Researchers here performed a narrative review using keyword "yoga and diabetes". All the relevant articles published till 08th November 2016 were included. Based on the available literature, researchers concluded that yoga plays a vital role as an adjuvant in the management of risk factors, disease progression and the complications of type 2 diabetes. They add that further studies are warranted using standard research designs and variables to find out the various mechanisms of effects of yoga in detail.
Have a super Sunday everyone!
Namaste.
