In Diabetic patient we usually advise to avoid fast as it can cause sever hypoglycemia or low sugar state. It is advisable to avoid Ramadan fast. Some patients insists on fasting due to strong religious belief it is advisable to consult you doctor and discuss your diet and current medicines and see if your doctor allows fasting with some change in medicines or diet .If you wish you can consult me in private.
