Abstract
INTRODUCTION
The risk for cardiovascular disease is multifactorial and includes diabetes, hypertension, smoking and dyslipidemia. Most type 2 diabetic patients insist on Ramadan fasting, even if the doctor advises them that fasting is risky to their health. Muslims who fast during Ramadan must abstain from eating, drinking, use of oral medications and smoking with no restrictions on food or fluid intake between sunset and dawn. Pre-Ramadan evaluation is very essential to all diabetic patients to classify them into four risk groups (very high risk, high risk, moderate risk and low risk groups) according to several factors such as type of diabetes, patient medications, individual hypoglycemic risk, presence of complications and or comorbidities, individual social and work circumstances and previous Ramadan experience. Ramadan fasting has both favorable and unfavorable changes in type 2 diabetes. Risks associated with Ramadan fasting include hypoglycemia during fasting, hyperglycemia and DKA after feeding, dehydration and thrombosis.
AIM OF THE WORK
To evaluate the effect of Ramadan fasting on cardiometabolic risk factors and anthropometric parameters in subjects with type 2diabetes
