    Effect of Yoga Module on Fasting Blood Sugar in Type 2 Diabetes.
    (SVYASA, 2016-01-12) Renuka Devi, C H
    Background The two major forms of diabetes are type 1, previously called Insulin-Dependent Diabetes Mellitus (IDDM) or juvenile-onset diabetes, and type 2, previously called Non-Insulin-Dependent Diabetes Mellitus (NIDDM) or maturity-onset diabetes. Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is an endocrine disorder characterized by elevated blood sugar levels (termed hyperglycemia). It is caused by the inability of the pancreas to produce sufficient insulin or the presence of another disease process that prevents the body from being able to control the amount of sugar in the blood. Insulin is a hormone needed by the body to transport glucose (sugar) out of the bloodstream and into energy producing cells. Glucose is the fuel for cells of the body and is needed for normal body functioning. Lack of an energy source by cells of the body tells the brain that more energy source is needed and the animal then has an increased appetite. Therefore, a common clinical sign of diabetes is a hearty appetite with weight loss rather than weight gain. Another clinical sign of the diabetes is increased drinking and urinations due to result of excess glucose in the urine. Possible causes of the development of diabetes include genetic predisposition, chronic pancreatitis, obesity, hormonal abnormalities, endocrine disease (including Cushing’s disease), infections, and certain medications (including corticosteroids).
