You know, physical exercise is also one of the auxiliary treatments for diabetes, and yoga belongs to aerobic exercise with moderate intensity in physical exercise, which is also suitable for diabetic patients. However, we should pay attention to making an exercise plan, choosing appropriate actions according to the condition, and consulting a doctor before practicing.

Can yoga lower blood sugar? Yes

Choosing proper yoga movements and controlling exercise intensity are beneficial to control blood sugar, increase insulin sensitivity, lose weight, control blood lipid and blood pressure, and reduce the occurrence of macrovascular and microvascular diseases.

The reason why yoga can lower blood sugar is 1. During yoga practice, glucose can be consumed, thus lowering blood sugar. At the beginning of yoga practice, glycogen stored in muscles and liver is consumed as energy. After exercise, muscles and liver absorb glucose in blood and store it as glycogen. After moderate exercise yoga practice, blood sugar can be reduced for more than ten hours. Long-term persistence can improve the glucose tolerance of diabetic patients, help control blood sugar and improve metabolism.

2, accelerate the decomposition of fat: in the process of practicing yoga, it can help enhance the utilization rate of cholesterol in the body and help to reduce fat and lose weight.

3, reduce complications: practicing yoga helps to improve the body's lipid metabolism, expand the blood flow of capillaries, and reduce blood lipids and blood pressure.
