Summary

Adult Muslims are obliged to start fasting during the month of Ramadan. Fasting entails refraining from all food, drink, tablets and injections(vitamins \& fluids) between sunrise and sunset; a period which varies by geographical location and season.

People with type 1 Diabetes are among those who are risky to fast this holy month in the Muslim faith and thus are exempted from fasting. Yet many patients fast in spite of medical advice and religious exemption and for those patients, healthcare professionals should provide the utmost care and continuous diabetes education.

Different diabetes education modalities exist like DSME (Diabetes self-management education with proven efficacy. One modality is the Diabetes Conversation Map which delivers diabetes education interactively through a series of maps that address different issues in diabetes management and includes a specially designed Ramadan map.

In this study, two modalities of Diabetes focused Ramadan education will be compared regarding aiding patients to fast Ramadan safely. One modality will be Diabetes conversation maps and the other the International Diabetes Federation Education modules.
