I think that any Muslim with diabetes who wishes to fast during Ramadan should go for a medical assessment first – and it is particularly inadvisable for those with Type 1 diabetes whose control is poor to fast at any time.
As well as fasting from sunrise to sunset, We often consume large quantities of sugary fluids, fried foods and carbohydrate-rich meals during the hours when we are allowed to eat and drink.The morning meal of Sohor is often taken at a very early hour, such as 4am, leaving a very long gap until the evening meal of Iftar. This can mean people with diabetes may experience large swings in their blood glucose levels
According to doctors,This is a general dietary advice to help control blood glucose levels during Ramadan:
· Eat the meal at Sohor just before sunrise to help spread your energy intake more evenly. · Limit the amount of sweet foods taken at Iftar. · Include fruits, vegetables and yoghurt in the meals both at Iftar and Sohor. · Choose sugar-free types of fizzy drinks and cordials or water – avoid adding sugar to drinks . · Limit fried foods like fried kebabs ... . · Measure the amount of oil used in cooking – it is recommended one to two tablespoons for a four-person dish. · Keep to a minimum the amount of traditional rich foods associated with Ramadan.
Ramdan Kareem with good health inchaallah for all muslims.
