The association between Ramadan, pre-Ramadan diabetes education (PRE) and metabolic parameters in people with type 2 diabetes: A longitudinal study using routine primary care data
In our study, Ramadan is associated with temporary and marginal metabolic improvements in people with T2D. A single PRE session had no substantial impact on metabolic control. Healthcare professionals should more often discuss Ramadan and medication adjustments with their patients.
