There are two main types of diabetes. Type 1 is juvenile diabetes requiring insulin, while Type 2 is adult onset and can be managed through lifestyle changes. Obesity, inactivity, and stress are leading causes of diabetes and its complications like blindness, kidney failure, and heart disease. Managing diabetes involves lifestyle modifications like changes to diet, exercise including yoga, and reducing cholesterol and stress levels. Specific yoga poses are recommended to help control diabetes and prevent related issues.
