Diabetes is one of those health conditions that often sneaks up on you silently. Many people can have early symptoms without realising what is going on. Picking the signs early can help you manage blood sugar levels and potentially delay or even prevent it from progressing into full-blown diabetes.
The month of Ramadan is a special time for the Muslim where fasting and feasting are integral to religious life, social interaction and communal celebration. Understanding the spiritual significance of this month to the Muslim as well as the practical aspects can put the physician in a much stronger position to gain patient trust and facilitate communication.
