Summary
Type 2 diabetic patients who fast during Ramadan experience swings in glycaemic control
between hypoglycaemic troughs and hyperglycaemic spikes. Hence, the dual challenge in fasting
diabetics is to identify which treatment modality leads to the most stable blood glucose
levels during a fast and how to smooth out these excursions and reduce risks of fast to a
minimum.
