  • Diabetes and Ramadan Workshop for Europe

    18 March 2021

    Tuesday, 13 April will mark the beginning of the holy month of Ramadan. Fasting (Sawn or Roza) during this 29–30-day period is one of the five pillars of Islam and commemorates the time when the Holy Quran was revealed to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Fasting is mandatory for all Muslim adults, with the exception of certain groups, including some people with chronic conditions such as diabetes. Due to the metabolic nature of the condition, people living with diabetes are at increased risk of developing complications associated with changes in food and liquid intake.
