Recent studies provide ample evidence of the benefits of yoga in various chronic disorders. Diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by chronic hyperglycemia and Sandler coined the term "Diabetic Lung" for the abnormal pulmonary function detected in diabetic patients due underlying pulmonary dysfunction.
