01
What the studied programmes include
The clinical protocols behind the reported HbA1c and glucose findings commonly combine physical postures with pranayama and relaxation. Some protocols include twists and forward-folding movements, but the research does not establish one individual pose as the active ingredient.
02
Why the whole programme matters
The trials generally run for several weeks rather than measuring an immediate response to one session. If you are using yoga as part of diabetes care, focus on a sustainable routine and continue the blood-sugar monitoring recommended by your clinician.
