Can Diabetics Fast?
As the month of Ramadan falls in the summer season, staying hungry for much longer periods makes diabetics take greater risks if they fast. Rapid changes in blood sugar levels, along with the negatives brought on by prolonged fasting, threaten health.
What Happens If Diabetics Fast?
Especially for individuals in high-risk groups due to their blood values and medical history, reactions that can lead to death, such as diabetic coma and blood clots, may occur depending on the severity of their condition. Therefore, it is important for diabetics to be examined by their doctors before Ramadan and to get their opinions. For those who cannot fast, it is recommended that they give fidya (ransom).
