Diabetes Yoga Therapy

i) Increases the number of insulin receptors and increases the proportion of receptor binding in patients with diabetes.
ii) Improves insulin kinetics by reducing fasting insulin levels, shifting the peak insulin level to the left, and by normalising the insulin-to-glucose ratio.
iii) Reduces levels of free fatty acids, indirectly indicating improved insulin sensitivity or reduced insulin resistance.
iv) Yoga improves cell-mediated immunity, as demonstrated by improvements in the lymphocyte migration test in people with type 2 diabetes.
