“…Despite the risks involved, up to 43.9% of Muslims with high-risk diabetes choose to fast during Ramadan ( 9 , 10 ). Although large epidemiologic studies have demonstrated increased hypo- and hyperglycemia during the fasting month ( 6 9 ), most physicians acknowledge inexperience with managing diabetes during Ramadan ( 13 ). It is incumbent upon all physicians to identify safe and effective insulin dosing recommendations during Ramadan for Muslims, a cohort claiming almost one-third of all persons with diabetes worldwide ( 3 ).…”

“…Additionally, respondents most desired knowledge on how to best organize healthcare before, during, and after Ramadan, and if newer pharmacological agents are better than older ones if used correctly. Most physicians agreed that the two most appropriate types of articles to disseminate knowledge about Ramadan fasting are original research (73.3% of respondents) and systematic reviews (64.3%) ( 13 ).…”

“…44 45 Beshyah et al explored physicians' perceptions of current knowledge gaps in RF research, barriers to, and foreseeable directions for advancing the field using an online survey sampling 260 physicians from 27 countries. 44 The survey addressed three main domains, such as perceived current knowledge gaps and unmet needs in research on RF and diabetes, barriers to research, and future directions for furthering the evidence in this field. The majority of respondents (65.7%) were senior physicians in adult endocrinology/diabetes (45.9%) working at tertiary centers (65.2%).…”

“…Potential challenges include lack of physician knowledge and respect for Islamic religious and cultural beliefs, language/communication barriers, and patient lack of understanding of potential risks of fasting. A recently published cross-sectional survey explored physician perceptions (n = 260) of current knowledge gaps, barriers to research and potential future directions regarding Ramadan fasting and diabetes (37). Majority were senior diabetologists/ endocrinologists (65.7%) working in tertiary centers (65.2%) in Muslim-majority countries, predominantly Middle East (49.6%) and Africa (29.2%).…”
