ABSTRACT
In the Islamic world, Ramadan is considered a holy month in which Muslims try to fulfill their
religious duties, especially fasting. Ramadan fasting affects many fundamental aspects of human
physiology, including sleep patterns and circadian rhythms, fluid and energy balance, and
glucose homeostasis. Due to the transition of the feeding regime to the night, especially due to
waking up and taking food at sahur, there are changes in the normal eating pattern as well as
sleeping patterns. From this point of view, fasting worship of diabetic patients without medical
supervision can cause many complications. Keywords: diabetes, Ramadan month, fasting, hyperglycemia, sleep mode REFERENCES
