Ramadan 2023: The month of Ramadan, the most important festival of the Muslim people, has started. During the month-long month of Ramadan, Muslims fast every day and have Iftar after sunset. Iftar is done with all things including bread and non-veg while breaking the fast. However, diabetic patients must keep checking their blood sugar while eating heavy foods. Diabetes patients may also face some problems if they go without food or drink for a long time throughout the day.
Keeping Roza can also be challenging because people have to make changes in their routine, due to which people already facing diabetes can find it difficult to balance their blood sugar levels. According to health experts, people who have well-controlled diabetes can follow a few things to control their blood sugar during prolonged fasting, especially during Ramadan.
Exercise in routine
Health experts recommend exercising to keep blood sugar under control during Ramadan. However, over-exercising should be avoided. You can do light exercise like walking. Resistance training can help maintain strength while fasting during Ramadan.
Eat right
The fast is traditionally broken with dates and milk, which can lead to excessive carbohydrate intake in your body. Also, keep yourself hydrated as much as possible. Try to avoid eating too much sweet and oily food during this time. Fruits before sleeping can also try to improve blood sugar.
Get enough sleep
It is also necessary to take an adequate amount of sleep to protect the body from diseases. Especially during the time of Ramadan, when you fast, during this time it is important that you also get proper sleep. With this, your metabolism also remains fine and helps in controlling blood sugar.
