People with type 1 diabetes and using insulin are advised not to fast, yet if they are keen it's essential to consult a doctor to determine the ability to fast and get necessary instructions and follow medication as per medical advice, Dr Najaty Bsaiso, member of the Association's scientific committee, said.
Dr Bsaiso suggests eating "food rich in fibre, such as brown bread, as well as a lot of fresh vegetables, because they are rich in fibre, and drinking a lot of fluids and non-sweetened liquids during the evening and with suhoor, especially in this region where temperatures are high and the period of fasting will be long." - See more at: http://www.ummid.com/news/2013/July/07.07.2013/ramdan_fr_diabtese.html#sthash.gqqi8M34.dpuf
