"Guidelines for Diabetic Fasting During Ramadan: Ensuring Health and Worship"

Ramadan is the month of worship, mercy, forgiveness and piety, the blessings of which Muslims celebrate this month with joy. In this month, Muslims are taught to observe obligatory fasting, which provides health in addition to worship. But, fasting can also be a challenge for diabetics. Here are some points of caution for diabetics:

Consultation on health recommendations:

 Diabetics should consult their doctor before fasting. Doctors will decide the suitability of fasting after looking at their health condition.

Adequate food arrangement: 

Fasting diabetic patients need suitable food at Suhoor and Iftar. They should consume a diet high in potassium and fiber during these times.

Avoid Isolation: 

A fasting diabetic should avoid isolation. If they feel hungry, do not sit alone at mealtimes.

Taking care of medicines during prayer:

 A diabetic patient should take care of medicines during prayer. If they fast for a long period of time, the intensity of the medication may decrease.

Hydration:

 A fasting diabetic should take special care of hydration during fasting. They should be protected from dehydration so that they can consume curd, buttermilk and other foods.

Contact the doctor immediately in case of breaking the fast: 

If a diabetic patient feels the need to break the fast, they should contact their doctor immediately.

Choosing the right fast:

 Sometimes a diabetic patient finds it difficult to follow a complete fast. Do not leave them in a state of weakness, but fast for a few hours or take the help of the weather.

Diabetics have the opportunity to fast, but they should also take care of their health. Keeping the above points in mind, they can spend the month of Ramadan with joy and worship.
