課程大綱：
糖尿病是一種代謝失調的慢性疾病。由於患者的胰臟不能產生足夠的胰島素，或所產生的胰島素不能被身體有效地利用，於是血液中的糖份不能正常地進入身體細胞並燃燒轉化為能量，結果使血液內的血糖濃度升高。當血糖濃度上升至超過腎臟所能吸收的極限時，糖份便會滿溢在尿液中排出體外。病徵是容易口渴、飢餓或尿頻等。糖尿病可分為一型、二型、胰腺糖尿及妊娠糖尿。在香港多於 95% 糖尿病患者屬二型,多發現於中年以上或較肥胖的人士。患者體內的胰島素分泌相對減少，或者分泌雖仍正常，但身體對胰島素產生抗拒，使胰島素不能發揮功效。患者一般可透過飲食控制、適量運動及服用降糖藥去控制病情。而控制糖尿病瑜珈班是希望透過在印度草醫學中所介紹的一些有利治療糖尿病的動作,協助患者進行一些伸展及扭轉的動作,按摩五臟六腑,把血液輸送到身體各個部份,改善胰島素的分泌。而伸展各種腺體更可提高內分泌系統的有效性。適量的伸展、專注的調息,加上適當的飲食及定期的練習,控制糖尿病瑜珈班對控制糖尿病有一定的改善效果。

Course Outline: Diabetes is a metabolic disorder and a chronic disease. As the patient’s pancreas does not produce enough insulin or the insulin is not effectively used by the body. Consequently blood sugar does not enter the cells of the body and is not converted into energy, resulting in elevated blood glucose levels. When blood glucose levels rise beyond that which the kidneys absorb excess sugar is excreted into the urine overflow. Symptoms are easy to identify for example thirst, hunger, or frequent urination. Diabetes can be divided into different types, most common are pancreatic and pregnancy diabetes. More than 95% of sufferers in Hong Kong are of Type II and is found to affect obese middle-aged people. Patients with reduced insulin secretion in vivo, or secretion is normal, but their body is resistant to insulin, therefore rendering the insulin ineffective.

The control of diabetes can be affected through yoga and Ayurvedic medicine, through some stretching, torsional movements which massage of internal organs. Extension of the endocrine glands can also improve the diabetic condition.
