Diabetes and Ramadan

Diabetes and Ramadan

This year Ramadan started on 2 April for 29 or 30 days and ends with Eid al-Fitr in May. The Qur’an requires Muslims to fast during the month of Ramadan from sunrise to sunset. However, there are exceptions to this. One of them is that people who are ill or have medical conditions do not have to fast. This can include people living with diabetes.

Diabetes UK has produced factsheets about diabetes and Ramadan, which include fasting and managing your diabetes during the holy month. They have been developed in partnership with the Muslim Council of Britain’s Diabetes Advisory Group.

The factsheets, a webinar hearing from people with lived experience and further information about diabetes and Ramadan is available on
the Diabetes UK website.

When I moved to Sheffield nearly five years ago it was my "go to" organisation. I expect it to stay that way. All the staff and volunteers seem to pull out little gems of effort that disabled people like me couldn't do without. Professionally and personally - I love em :)

A fantastic presentation thought provoking and good questions from the floor around promoting this film/message to the general public not just professionals.

Disability Sheffield is a forward-thinking, energetic organisation doing a lot of positive work in Sheffield. I have no doubt they will continue to do so for a long time to come.
