Fasting with Diabetes? Here’s How to Stay Safe This Ramadan

Diabetic patients should consult their doctor before fasting during Ramadan to assess health risks.

Monitor blood sugar levels regularly, especially before Sehri and after Iftar.

Never skip Sehri; choose complex carbs, fiber-rich foods, and protein to maintain stable glucose levels.

Avoid sugary drinks and deep-fried foods at Iftar to prevent sudden sugar spikes.

Stay hydrated during Iftar and Sehri by drinking plenty of water.

Include light physical activity after Iftar, but avoid heavy exercise during fasting hours.
