Abstract

The phrase " va man kan marizan " on the fasting of the holy month of Ramadan in the verse of 185 of the Qur'anic Surah, followed by the phrase "Yaridullah Bekem Alisar va Yerido bekom alosr", is undoubtedly a major task of medical scientific assemblies. To conduct comprehensive and evidence-based studies, firstly, should determine the course of fasting in patients, and, second, patients who may be able to fast, prepare for Ramadan, and support and monitor them during the fasting month of Ramadan. This important issue for diabetics is of particular importance due to epidemiological and demographic issues.
