Ramadan fasting and diabetes: view with the case reports
Journal Title: Journal of Health Sciences and Medicine - Year 2019, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
Apart from Islam, Christianity, Judaism, and many other religions such as Hinduism, Buddhism have fast worship, and Christians also have worshiped in certain periods of the year as in Islam. It is estimated that 1.5 billion people fasted all over the world during Ramadan. According to the countries and the fasting season, the period of fasting can vary between 9-21 hours. Some patients are told that they should not consult fasting physicians and fasting under physician control, or that some patients should not fast by the physician. But most importantly, some patients are fasting without medication consultation and face serious health problems. As the studies about fasting increase, many studies have shown that many patients can safely fast by physician control and regular follow-ups. We also wanted to share the follow-up results of three types of diabetic patients reporting fasting and fasting in this article at their own discretion.
