The festival of Mahashivaratri is considered very special among Shiva devotees. This time Mahashivaratri will be celebrated on 18 February. On the other hand, on the occasion of Mahashivaratri, people keep fast and also worship Lord Shiva according to the rules and regulations. However, during this time diabetic patients should keep some special things in mind while fasting. If diabetic patients keep fast on Mahashivratri, then they have to remain very alert throughout the day and take great care of their health.
Diabetes
Actually, during the fast, people have to stay without eating anything for a long time. In such a situation, the sugar of people can also be uncontrolled. On the other hand, if the diabetic patient remains without eating and drinking for a long time, then the sugar level decreases. Weakness can also be felt in this situation. In such a situation, if fasting is to be observed on the occasion of Mahashivratri, then diabetic patients will have to take care of some special things.
Keep these things in mind

During the fast, keep eating something healthy now and then, so that the sugar level remains under control.
Consume lemon water, lassi, or buttermilk during the fast.
Keep in mind that your sugar level should not fall below 70 during the fast.
