Yoga and Diabetes

[iamverysweet]

Hi Everyone,

I am new to this forum. I have been a diabetic for the past 13 years (I am 38) and recently started my journey in the natural way. Let me explain by natural:

Yoga: I started doing yoga regularly and I also completed 108 Surya Namaskara yesterday! I follow SVYASA yoga and a mix of meditation

Ayurveda: By way of mixing Millets and vegetables I control my diet.

My HBA1c was 8.9 in january while taking tablets of Gluconormg1 and galvus in the morning and evening. WIth this change in diet and exercise pattern, I got my HBA1c reduced to 7.0 in less than 6 weeks.

I feel that the whole lot of misconceptions going around in the world of diabetes especially in India and I am hoping to help as well as helped in this forum.

No doubt,there are misconceptions among diabetics like in all other facets of life.It is good that you have come down 7%A1c.But you are relatively young and so you should aim to get closure to 6.Also,as you advance in age,your diabetes becomes more and more tougher to manage.Keep monitoring regularly at home and regular reviews with your doctor.By associating with SVYASA,you are in safe hands as far as yoga is concerned.Very nice.

Thanks a lot. I will strive towards 5.7 . I will also find about the LCHF diet.
