Diabetes, blood pressure and fasting: talk to your doctor
A long-term health condition or its care may affect decisions about fasting. Your personal circumstances matter, so arrange a conversation with your doctor before Ramadan and do not rely on a general guide to make that decision.
For health decisions, talk to your doctor or pharmacist. For a religious ruling about fasting, ask a trusted scholar; see moulvi.si/guides. Trusted scholar guidance
Topics to discuss before fasting
Tell your doctor about your condition, current prescriptions, other medicines, usual care routine, and any recent changes. Ask whether fasting is appropriate for you, what monitoring or follow-up they recommend, and how to reach them if you have concerns.
Ask for a personal plan
Ask which symptoms should prompt you to stop fasting and seek help, where to get urgent care, and what to do if you feel unwell. Write down the answers and share the plan with someone you trust. Do not change or skip medicine instructions on your own.
When to seek urgent help
If you feel faint, confused, suddenly very unwell, or have severe or rapidly worsening symptoms, stop fasting and seek urgent medical help. For an emergency, contact local emergency services. Ask your doctor in advance which warning signs are especially important for you.
