A number of exercises can be used to help cure diabetes

This exercise is slightly complicated to comprehend, but not too difficult to perform. Sit with the left leg stretched out and the right one folded. The right foot must be planted on the other side of the left leg near the left knee. Try to touch the left foot (of the stretched out leg) with the right hand. Hold the left hand firmly across the back, and try to look at the left shoulder.

The twist in the torso is what the body should try to achieve to apply pressure on the pancreas.

After holding this posture for 2-3 minutes, repeat the exercise with the right leg stretched out and everything else just the other way round. This posture gives incredible exercise to the torso, specifically to that area of the body where the pancreas is located.

Working on the pancreas is the key to regulating its function, which in turn helps control the sugar level in the blood, thereby controlling diabetes.

Use this exercise for other ailments too

This exercise can be prescribed for a host of other body conditions including general digestive problems. A diabetic must avoid constipation; hence this exercise is good for regulating digestion as well. It also helps in reducing body weight, which is a crucial element in the case of diabetics who are obese.

Obesity is widespread in diabetics, and aggravates their condition.

Sudden drops in blood sugar are dangerous

While high levels of blood sugar in diabetics are harmful, a sudden drop in blood sugar levels can be disastrous as well. Conventional medicine does not recognize this fine balance.

Yoga, on the other hand, recognizes this problem, and therefore in treating diabetes, it treats the core of the problem. It does this while taking into account all the different aspects of diabetes - the irregular metabolism of sugar, its harmful effects on the vital organs, and the low energy levels experienced by the diabetic.
