I am 23 and just learned that I have type 1 diabetes. I was wondering, would yoga be a good suplement to diet and exercise to manage my diabetes?

Dear Adjusting:
Yes, adding yoga to a proper diet and exercise routine is a great plan to assist in bettering your health!
It is important you find the right yoga class for you. You should feel comfortable with your instructor and believe he or she understands your individual needs. You will learn to honor hat is right for your body for that day and for you that can be an extremely valuable tool. Your instructor should be good at verbal cuing and working with everyone in the class and their individual needs.
The main thing is to get started, the stress reduction form yoga alone will help your situation. You are on the right track by inquiring and asking questions about various ways to best control your health situation.
Good luck and be well!
Ms. Yogi
