A Safer Ramadan: An exciting new initiative to support safer fasting and feasting
During Ramadan 2011 a new education programme for people with Type 2 Diabetes will be available in Leicester, Preston, Harrow, Reading and Kirklees. This pilot project is the start for a full programme that will run next year in preparation for that year’s Ramadan.
This exciting new project aims to support people with Type 2 Diabetes who wish to observe the holy month and to do so safely. As one of the activities carried out during the holy month of Ramadan is fasting during daylight hours it can mean confusion and apprehension towards how measures need to be taken to have “A Safer Ramadan”.
So far early feedback has shown that the views of the education sessions from participants are positive and the study is continuing to move forward. Any further details for the project can be found by checking the website in the future for further updates on the project.
