Abstract

Over one billion Muslims fast during the month of Ramadan worldwide, when they abstain from eating and drinking until after sunset. To fast safely and without life-threatening complications to diabetic patients, we need to establish a culturally-appropriate educational program for health professionals, families and patients.
