Managing Diabetes During Ramadan: A Guide to Safe Fasting

Ramadan, a holy month of fasting for Muslims, presents unique challenges for individuals with diabetes. This study provides updated recommendations for managing diabetes during Ramadan, focusing on safe fasting practices and appropriate medication adjustments. The researchers address common concerns, misconceptions, and offer practical guidance for healthcare providers and individuals with diabetes.

The study emphasizes the importance of careful risk assessment and individualization of care during Ramadan. High-risk patients with multiple complications should be advised against prolonged fasting. The researchers also highlight the importance of pre-Ramadan education and discussion about glucose monitoring and treatment regimens. Certain medications, such as metformin and thiazolidinediones, appear to be safe during fasting, while others, such as sulfonylureas, require careful consideration and potential dose adjustments.
