Diabetes fasting risk varies by medication type, insulin use, prior hypoglycemia, kidney function, and overall control. This is not safely managed through guesswork.

Without medical adjustment, fasting can trigger dangerous glucose swings and dehydration.

Physician-Led Ramadan Diabetes Planning Includes:

• Pre-Ramadan HbA1c and control review
• Hypoglycemia risk stratification
• Medication or insulin timing redesign
• Monitoring frequency plan
• Written glucose thresholds to break fast
• Follow-up access during Ramadan

Typical break-fast thresholds often include glucose below 3.9 mmol/L or above 16.7 mmol/L — but must be individualized.

Plans are coordinated with pharmacy to ensure dispensing and instructions match physician guidance.
