Diabetes & Ramadan - Implementing the Evidence

An overview of the latest guidance for those wishing to observe fasting during Ramadan and are living with diabetes.

Evidence has shown more than half of all patients living with Diabetes will go on to observe fasting during Ramadan and in some areas it can be as high as 70-80%.

There are best practices to ensure HCPs can best support these patients during this time and minimise any risks that may occur, such as reducing the chances of hypoglycaemia and other related adverse events. It is even more critical during this current time to support these patients remain well and healthy as the provision of healthcare services is not what it normally is.

Learn about the following studies and what they mean for your practice:

  • READ Study
  • EPIDIAR Study
  • Ramadan Prospective Diabetes Study
  • CREED Study
  • VIRTUE Study
  • STEADFAST Study

and how best to implement the evidence base to your practice.
