Imagine the smell of freshly baked bread, the sizzle of spiced meats on the grill, and the sight of vibrant colors and flavors bursting from every dish. That is what Iftar is all about. However, the festival of Ramadan is more than just the food. It's a time for spiritual growth, for reconnecting with one's faith, and for showing compassion and generosity to others. It is also a time where you fast for 30 days from sunrise to sunset, to abstain from food, drink, and instead, focus on your inner self.
While auspicious of Ramadan is ongoing and 'Iftari' preparations on the mind, it becomes important to consider how to best help people with diabetes and their caregivers to celebrate the festival to its fullest. Navigating one's fast can be tricky – it involves a drastic change in routine and lifestyle, which can make it difficult for people to keep their glucose levels in range throughout the day. Therefore, consulting your doctor before fasting can be extremely helpful to understand any risks and have a plan ready to manage your diabetes in the best possible way.
