چکیده
OBJECTIVE Safety of fasting in Ramadan for diabetic patients is not clearly known. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of fasting on glycemic excursions by continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMS). MATERIALS AND METHODS This pilot, observational study conducted in the Endocrine Research Center, Mashhad University of Medical Sciences, Mashhad, IRAN, in Ramadan 2008. Seventeen well controlled patients with diabetes type 2 who were taking oral agents underwent 72 hour monitoring of glycemic excursions by CGMS one month before Ramadan and during Ramadan. The extent and duration of hyperglycemic and hypoglycemic events were evaluated and compared. RESULTS A significant reduction in hyperglycemic events was observed during Ramadan. The extent and duration of hypoglycemic events was not significantly different between two states (Ramadan and before). A significant increase in number of hypoglycemic events in Ramadan was found in patients who take sulfonylurea compared with those who take only metformin. CONCLUSION Fasting in Ramadan can be safe for well controlled patients with type 2 diabetes.

Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are a new glucose-lowering therapy for T2DM with documented benefits on blood glucose, hypertension, weight reduction and long term cardiovascular benefit. They have an inherent osmotic diuretic effect and lead to some volume loss and possible dehydration. There is some concern about the safety of using SGLT2 inhibitors in Muslim type 2 diabete...
متن کاملPrevalence and extent of glycemic excursions in well-controlled patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus using continuous glucose-monitoring system.
BACKGROUND Continuous glucose-monitoring system (CGMS) is a tool for assessment of glycemic excursions. Glucose variability is a risk factor independent of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) for diabetic complications; hence CGMS may be a better method for management of diabetes. AIM To evaluate the extent of glycemic excursions in well-controlled type 2 diabetic patients. SETTING AND DESIGN T...

OBJECTIVE Children with type 1 diabetes are usually asked to perform self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) before meals and at bedtime, and it is assumed that if results are in target range, along with HbA(1c) measurements, then overall glycemic control is adequate. However, the brief glimpses in the 24-h glucose profile provided by SMBG may miss marked glycemic excursions. The MiniMed Contin...

متن کاملRamadan Fasting: A Study of Changes in Glucose Profiles Among Patients With Diabetes Using Continuous Glucose Monitoring
Fasting during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan entails abstinence from eating, drinking, and smoking from dawn to sunset. Although the sick are exempted (Holy Koran, Al-Bakarah, 183– 185), many patients, including those with diabetes, choose to go ahead with fasting, often for social and cultural as well as religious reasons (1). We have explored changes in glucose profiles of patients with ty...
