What FACTLY found

The supposed study cited in the claim is a review article and not a research paper. A research paper is based on original research done after collecting and analysing raw data which is different from a review article, which does not report original research but is based on other published material. However, the article cites verses from the Bhagavad Gita to show how one may cope with the stress of illness such as diabetes

Their words, from the summary they publish with the rating.

In short

This claim spread on social media around 29 June 2021. FACTLY (India) looked into it and published its finding on 3 September 2021, 66 days later. Its rating was “MISLEADING”.
