G.C. Age 65. Retired psychiatric nurse. Diabetes for 30years, but no insulin. Right replacement knee since last November. How much yoga can I do? And would Ayurveda or acupuncture help?
Yes. Yoga and acupressure/puncture can help you great deal fighting sugar problems. Whatever yoga you practice should be less than 30 minutes a day. Best is kapalbhanti Panama 2 minutes a day. Acupressure is better than acupuncture. Please practice yoga after consulting a you teacher to avoid post surgery knee problems. Do not practice yoga myself, or reading on net or books. Because practical experience of treating patients is always imp. Your diabetes is more than 30 yrs, so with the help of alternative medicines you can control and prevent its late age complications which in turn not possible with any other path. So I appreciate your idea of taking other aids. I hope I answered your query. Wish you good health.
