A 45 year old Pakistani man with type 2 diabetes mellitus consults to discuss how he might fast safely during Ramadan. What issues you should cover Explore his motivation—whether he wants to fast (as most will) or whether he is looking for a "legitimate" exemption from fasting on medical grounds. A diagnosis of diabetes does not confer an automatic exemption, so if the second scenario is suspected it needs to be explored with sensitivity. Although everyone agrees on the need to avoid food and drink during daylight hours, a range of views exists on the use of drugs. Ask his opinion on the use of oral and injectable drugs when fasting. Find out how long the fast will last. The length of the fast varies according to the time of year in which Ramadan falls. Ramadan starts on about 12 September this year and in the United Kingdom the fast will be about 13 hours . . .
