During the Holy month of Ramadan, Muslims fast from sunrise to sunset. This means abstaining from all food and drink, including water. For Muslims who have diabetes, this can be a tricky situation. Some advise against it, but if done with the right preparation, care and support, it can be done.

Is it safe to fast during Ramadan if I have diabetes?
Where can I get advice and support if I want to fast?
What special preparations should I make?
