Summer and diabetes

I think living in Britain will increase circulation problems lol
 
Spare a thought - or a prayer or two for those who will shortly be making their minds up about Ramadan - which will be May through to June this year.

Partaking of a dry fast at that time of year must be particularly hard.

I am very sympathetic with you, man lol
Whoever told you that fasting is a punishment, no one will force you to fast Ramadaan ?

If you try fasting for one day you will know the answer
Let me tell you that the fasting person drinks more water than fasting because he does not eat any food

I really feel sorry for you
 
I find that my BG control is usually better in the summer.
Winter can be gloomy and depressing, cold and damp, and you spend a lot of time indoors and close to the fridge.
In summer the days are longer and warmer so you spend more time active and outside.
Personally I spend a lot more time riding my bike in the summer which increases my level of exercise which presumably also reduces my insulin resistance.
This is for a UK summer, of course. In areas where summer is very/too hot then winter may come closer to UK summer temperatures. 30C is about the highest temperature I am comfortable in.

I think my speculation is very logical thank you

If I understand correctly you are supposed to fast from sunrise to sunset.
This means that the length of the fast depends on your location and the season. To look at extremes, in the Arctic in June this could be 23 hours or more, with 1 hour or less in the Antarctic.
Not unreasonable concessions can be made in extreme circumstances, including the aged and infirm (the Internet tells me).
Is one of your decisions how safe it will be to maintain a dawn to dusk fast?
How do you decide, and do you need permission from a religious leader?

Interested because it is something outside the standard treatment guidelines for diabetes.

Allow me to explain to you the things of the sick, the infirm and the young, not fasting, but even the women who are pregnant

Fasting is the only worship that is between you and God. No one will feel that you have not fasted



I also think that no one knows anything of his creation
