Public Awareness Program For Diabetes & Ramadan

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Home blood glucose monitoring during Ramadan is important to prevent hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia complications and empower patients to gauge their food intake and medication doses.
• The frequency of monitoring depends on the medications the patient is taking and their pre-Ramadan HbA1c levels.
• Patients should consult with physicians on their medications before Ramadan, including any dose adjustments required and the timing to take medications during fasting.
