  • Title: Managing diabetes during the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan.
    Author: Velayudhan M.
    Journal: Med J Malaysia; 2012 Jun; 67(3):353-4; quiz 355. PubMed ID: 23082439.
    Abstract:
    Target blood sugar levels in diabetes are achieved through manipulation of diet, exercise and medication. A change in any one of these three things can skew blood sugar levels and create complications associated with hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia. Fasting during the month of Ramadan is a religious activity that devout Muslims practice whether they are diabetic or not. Since such fasting involves abstinence from food and water for twelve hours or more during the day from dawn to dusk, it is evident that advice regarding exercise and medication will have to be modified during this period.
