Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is one of the major health problems in the world as well as in India that greatly affects the health care sector and economy. Use of drugs has its own drawbacks and in recent days the use of non-medical measures were reported not only to manage T2DM, but also to prevent its complications. Through there are various review articles that are dealing with the effect of Yoga on risk profiles, management along with the mechanisms of action of yoga in T2DM separately, there is a lack of comprehensive review on the effect of Yoga in combination with all the above mentioned including the effect of Yoga in the management of T2DM complications. Hence, we performed a narrative review in Medline/PubMed using keyword "Yoga and diabetes". All the relevant articles published till 08th November 2016 were included. Based on the available literature, it could be concluded that Yoga plays a vital role as an adjuvant in the management of risk factors, disease progression and the complications of the T2DM. Further studies are warranted using standard research designs and variables to find out the various mechanisms of effects of Yoga in detail.
2型糖尿病（T2DM）是全球以及印度的主要健康问题之一，对医疗保健部门和经济产生了重大影响。药物治疗有其自身的缺点，最近有报道称，非药物措施不仅可以控制T2DM，还可以预防其并发症。尽管有各种综述文章分别探讨了瑜伽对风险状况、管理以及T2DM中瑜伽作用机制的影响，但缺乏对瑜伽结合上述所有方面的综合综述，包括瑜伽在T2DM并发症管理中的作用。因此，我们在Medline/PubMed中使用关键词“瑜伽与糖尿病”进行了叙述性综述。纳入了截至2016年11月8日发表的所有相关文章。根据现有文献，可以得出结论，瑜伽在T2DM的危险因素管理、疾病进展和并发症方面作为辅助手段发挥着至关重要的作用。有必要进一步开展使用标准研究设计和变量的研究，以详细了解瑜伽的各种作用机制。
