Whenever possible, they should also be accompanied by someone who understands and can obtain glucides whenever the time arises. This of course takes place in the yoga class as well. Your doctor will be able to suggest a yoga teacher, of whom understands diabetes. * Preventing hypoglycemia! Remember to always check your levels of blood glucose.
