    AbstractDiabetes and its treatments can cause problems for Muslims who wish to take part in the fast during the holy month of Ramadan. This article offers information about the impact of various diabetes treatments, including insulin, when fasting and some of the precautions that need to be in place. Some of the reasons people with diabetes might find it difficult to comply with advice are explored with some suggestions on how to work towards acceptable compromises. Through dialogue between health professionals and patients, it is usually possible to facilitate at least some safe fasting for those who wish to observe this annual ritual.
