Culturally based pre-Ramadan education increased benefits and reduced hazards of Ramadan fasting for type 2 diabetic patients

Objectives In the current study, we aimed at evaluating the effect of a culturally-based pre-Ramadan education program (PREP) on glycemic control, weight, adherence to post-sunset physical activity, perception of hypoglycemia, and anti-diabetic medication dose adjustment during Ramadan fasting in ty...

description Objectives In the current study, we aimed at evaluating the effect of a culturally-based pre-Ramadan education program (PREP) on glycemic control, weight, adherence to post-sunset physical activity, perception of hypoglycemia, and anti-diabetic medication dose adjustment during Ramadan fasting in type 2 diabetics. Study design A total of 1008 type 2 Diabetes patients were offered a culturally-based PREP in addition to the standard of care, two months before Ramadan. A retrospective interview one month after Ramadan compared the fasting experience of PREP attendees (470 patients) with those who merely received standard of care (538 patients) (Non-PREP). Results Ramadan fasting improved glycemic control with a correlation between HbA1c percent reduction and the number of fasting days (r = −0.290, p  = 0.007). More HbA1c and weight percent reduction were observed in PREP attendees compared to the Non-PREP group (−14.8% ± 9.3 vs. -5.4% ± 5.4; p
