Diabetics should consult a doctor to find out if they can fast during Ramadan and how to take insulin and other diabetes medications throughout the month.
Fasting diabetics should monitor their blood sugar regularly because they are at risk of developing either hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia.
To maintain blood sugar levels, patients should follow some simple tips recommended by medical professionals.
Many people overeat fried, fatty and sugary meals, whether at breakfast or suhoor, and this in turn raises blood sugar levels and poses risks such as fatty liver disease, obesity and high blood pressure.
