Abstract

Dear Editor,
I am writing to provide my reflections on the article titled “Ramadan Fasting Among Adults with Type 2 Diabetes in Five Geographically Different Regions of the World: The DAR 2020 Global Survey” by Hassanein et al., published in Diabetes Epidemiology and Management [1]. This study offers profound insights into the fasting practices, glycemic complications, and the role of Ramadan-focused diabetes education among individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D) across varied geographic and cultural regions. By emphasizing the critical role of pre-Ramadan education in mitigating the risks of hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia, the authors make a substantial contribution to diabetes care, while simultaneously underscoring practical strategies to ensure safe fasting during Ramadan. The findings are of significant importance to clinicians and policymakers seeking to enhance diabetes management in culturally diverse settings...
