Do I need to go on a special
diet during Ramadan?
If you are following a balanced diet as
recommended by your Dietitian, then there
is a big chance you do not need to change
the selection of foods of your diet. Eat as you
normally would do, with the only difference
being the time you eat your meals. Eat slowly
when breaking your fast. This will help you to
avoid indigestion, as well as regulating the
blood sugar. The diet should be kept simple
and include foods from all the food groups.
This health awareness message is brought to you by our dieticians. For further information, visit Lifestyle Modification
Centre at Level 2 or call 603-2160 0240 for an appointment.

Ramadhan

DID YOU
KNOW?
Finger pricking does not
constitute the breaking of
fast; hence self-monitoring
of blood glucose should
be continued during
Ramadan.
Medications
Anti-hypertensive pills need not
be adjusted. However, certain
oral hypoglycaemic agents
need to be adjusted in terms of
timing. Diamicron (gliclazide)
should be adjusted from prebreakfast to iftar.
Doses of certain agents such as
DPP4-inhibitors, SGLT-2 agonist,
and biguanides, example
metformin, need not be adjusted
and rarely cause hypoglycaemia.
Insulin doses may need to
be adjusted, and reduced, in
particular the sahur doses, and
the dose regime may need to be
reversed. It is best to advise the
patient to discuss the changes
with the physician.
With reinforced education,
regular diabetes counselling,
combined with patient
empowerment, diabetes care
can lead to good long term
outcome for these individuals.
