[QUOTE="alphabeta, post: 2036862, member: 419831"] Kind madam, this question gets asked so many times around the start of Ramadan every year. Having the appropriate background, I can only ask you to refrain from fasting all together (even some scholar argue that it is forbidden for us, diabetics, to fast during Ramadan for it does more harm than good!) The reason we can't fast is that (as I was given the understanding) water is a very essential part of our life, and I cannot imagine for the love of me staying without water for an extended period of time while being diabetic. I was told that ketone levels soar high without water for diabetics. My advice is that you don't fast all together. Yes you are excused and allowed. To be on the safe side, you can always check with your doctor and your religious authority. Remember! The medical authority has the final say! Stay safe [/QUOTE]
