If you are planning on fasting and have diabetes, it is important to speak to your diabetes healthcare team as early as possible before Ramadan. For some people with diabetes, fasting can be dangerous or can cause problems for your health. Your diabetes team will be able to advise you on whether it is safe for you to fast. If you are able to fast, please follow the advice below on how to keep good diabetes control throughout the fasting period.

Below we have set out some guidance to help you manage your diabetes during Ramadan, depending on what treatment you currently follow: If you manage your diabetes with diet and exercise Mayo Clinic: “Cuts of Beef: A Guide to the Leanest Selections,” “Whole Grains: Hearty Options for a Healthy Diet,” “Dietary fats: Know which types to choose." As a Type 1 diabetic, I have had the app for many years, initially without any upgrade costs being required. The basic access to food carbs is undoubtedly a significant support for my condition - and the range has improved over the years. However, the annual upgrade cost is (in my opinion) is way too high.During Ramadan, there is a dramatic change in dietary patterns for fasting Muslims compared with other months of the year. Health issues may arise due to improper eating habits and reduced physical activity. Unhealthy nutrition habits that commonly develop during Ramadan include: Limit sugary foods at Iftar. Only eat small amounts of foods like Baklava or Khunafa cakes. Have a variety of fruits such as berries and strawberries with natural yoghurts. Not all protein sources come from meat. People who don’t eat meat have many ways to get protein into their diets, such as from dairy, protein powder, beans, and whole grains. Eat more fibre rich foods which are digested slowly; include bran, cereals, whole wheat, grains and seeds, potatoes with skin, vegetables such as green beans, aubergines and almost all fruits. Reduce intake of salt and salted food, such as dressing, sauces, salted nuts and crisps. Dehydration is a risk due to limited fluid intake during the day, and high salt foods can further increase this risk.

Avoid drinks that contain caffeine such as tea and coffee as these can make you lose more water by going to the toilet more. Avoid sugary drinks such as orange, apple, tropical fruit juice and fizzy drinks. Diet drinks and non-sweetened drinks such as unsweetened labaan drinks are a preferred option Full menus and photos for popular UK restaurants & cafes including Costa Coffee, Greggs, McDonald's, Subway & Wagamama!
