Comparison of Hypoglycaemic Regimens During Ramadan Fasting in Type 2 Diabetes
Non-randomizedParallel-groupOpen-labelTreatment
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.
