Hi doctor I have been suffering from diabetes for the last six years but despite it I keep fast in the month of Ramadan (Ramzan. 1 week ago I felt low back pain that was unaffordable. My doctor suggested me to not to keep fast and said keeping stomach empty for diabetes patients may cause of increase of sugar level. I just want to know can I keep fast or not.

No, you can't keep the roza. It's not safe for diabetic patients.

Dear lybrate-user, best wishes for the holy month of ramadan! you are very young and your diabetes should not be a problem for observing fast, in ramadan this year days are very long and hence dose of medicines need to be adjusted so well that you should not experience low sugar. Please visit nearby diabetologist to adjust the medicine dosages. Hope this helps you! regards,
