Yoga can be a helpful complementary practice for managing type 1 diabetes mellitus, but it cannot cure the condition. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease requiring insulin therapy.

Key points to consider:

  1. Yoga benefits: It may improve blood sugar control, reduce stress, and enhance well-being.
  2. Not a replacement: Yoga should not replace insulin therapy or prescribed medical treatment.
  3. Consult your doctor: Discuss any new exercise or lifestyle changes with your healthcare provider.

In summary, while yoga can support diabetes management, maintaining regular insulin therapy and following medical advice are crucial.
