The theme of the diabetes awareness for the holy month of Ramadan this year is “Your Sugar is Okay in the Month of Goodness,” reports Al-Qabas daily quoting Kuwait Diabetes Society Chairman and Endocrinologist at Mubarak Al- Kabeer Hospital Dr Waleed Al-Dhani. Al-Dhani, who also serves as Director of Kuwait Endocrine Fellowship Program, confirmed that “fasting during Ramadan generally improves diabetic conditions.

Most diabetics can fast in Ramadan, except some cases, such as those suffering from repeated drop in blood sugar level (hypoglycemia) three months before Ramadan and those with chronic diseases like heart, eye, nerve and liver conditions.
