[QUOTE="Antje77, post: 2281703, member: 372207"] Wa alaikum assalaam. You are right in thinking the usual religious laws don't apply to kids with type 1, they don't apply to adults with type 1 either. Religious fasting isn't meant to endanger people. As far as I understand most religious people agree you shouldn't fast if fasting can seriously affect your health. For a child with type 1, fasting can have dangerous medical consequences, please don't try anything without full agreement of your child's endocrinologist. In the future, when your child is of an age to decide for themselves, provided they are very understanding of their diabetes treatment and their doctor agrees, they could choose to try fasting. But only up to the point where they are willing to break the fast if needed for a hypo. Please don't make a child with type 1 fast before they can fully manage their diabetes by themselves. All the best to you and your child! [/QUOTE]
