Health guide
01
Yoga is studied alongside diabetes care
The trials reporting improvements in HbA1c and fasting glucose generally added yoga to standard diabetes management. They therefore support yoga as an additional lifestyle measure, not as a replacement for prescribed treatment.
02
If your numbers improve
Bring improved readings and HbA1c results to your treating clinician. Medication decisions depend on your overall pattern of results and risk, so any change to treatment should be made as part of that review rather than by stopping medicine on your own.
