Altered Ramadan fasting glycemic profiles of adults with type 1 diabetes reveal strong evidence of underestimated insulin adjustments: a 3-year observational study in Arab settings
Ramadan fasting among adults with T1D in SA is associated with deterioration in glycemic control, with the highest glucose spikes observed after Iftar and Suhoor. These hyperglycemic episodes were most prominent during Ramadan and persisted for at least a month after. The present real-time evidence warrants the need to review insulin adjustments in this understudied group, focusing on high risk patients with T1D, including those with history of overindulgent behavior during Ramadan.
