[QUOTE="Antje77, post: 2036780, member: 372207"] I'd say it would depend greatly on A: medication used (Skipping meals on sulfonylurea's or mixed insulin may end bad). B: Being used to a life of eating pretty much the same things at the same times every day versus a more unpredictable lifestyle and coping with that in regards to diabetes, and C: having or not having high bg. It's not advisable to not drink with high blood sugars. In either case, I'd use my meter often and be prepared to allow for diabetes to make adjustments to the traditional fasting if needed. Which is, I believe, as most muslims think is right. As far as I know fasting has mainly to do with contemplation and it's impossible to contemplate when making yourself ill. Most (all?) branches of Islam allow for people who are ill (or very young, old or pregnant) to adjust their fasting, as fasting isn't meant to do harm. So fasting might be perfectly good for some diabetics and completely miss the mark for others. [/QUOTE]
