No results posted yet for this study

Summary

In Ramadan, Muslims perform a special kind of fasting. Their fasting start with the first lights of the sunrise and end with the sunset. Especially in summer, it is a real challenge, as the time for fasting might be as long as 18 hours, and hot weather might cause severe dehydration. This might be dangerous, especially in patients with diabetes. Serum osmolarity is a good surrogate marker to evaluate the body's fluid content. We aimed to investigate if summertime Ramadan fasting causes further fluid loss in patients with type 2 diabetes.
