Physicians on Saturday suggested that patients with diabetes should take extra care while fasting to manage their glucose level and avoid any unpleasant situation during Ramazan.

To create awareness among the diabetic patients intending to observe fasting without harming their blood glucose level, the physicians at a seminar titled ?Diabetes and Ramazan? said frequent disturbance in diabetes control can lead to permanent complications. The seminar was hosted by Shifa International Hospital.

Consultant endocrinologist Dr Usama Ishtiaq said unlike other days it was difficult to keep diet and blood glucose level at control during fasting in Ramazan.
