The Core Defects in type 2 diabetes:
Insulin
resistance in
peripheral tissues
Excess Hepatic Glucose
Production
due to
1)increased glucagon
2)insulin insufficiency
3)insulin resistance
Insulin deficiency
due to insufficient
pancreatic insulin
release

Management of Hyperglycemia in
Type 2 Diabetes, 2015:
A Patient-Centered Approach

Glycemic targets
- HbA1c < 7.0% (mean PG 150-160 mg/dl [8.3-8.9 mmol/l])
- Pre-prandial PG <130 mg/dl (7.2 mmol/l)
- Post-prandial PG <180 mg/dl (10.0 mmol/l)
- Individualization is key:
 Tighter targets (6.0 - 6.5%) - younger, healthier
 Looser targets (7.5 - 8.0%+) - older, comorbidities,
hypoglycemia prone, etc.
- Avoidance of hypoglycemia
PG = plasma glucose

The Current decade…
Over the current decade, the number of
fasting hours will progressively increase
in the northern hemisphere as Ramadan
falls in the summer months.
This will have important implications for
Muslims with diabetes who wish to fast.
Raised Questions ……?
Ramadan Between Diabetes
and Fasting
 Although the Koran exempts
sick people from the duty of
fasting, many Muslims with
diabetes may not perceive
themselves as sick and are
keen to fast.
 43% of patients with type 1
and 86% of those with type 2
diabetes fasted during
Ramadan.
1-IBRAHIM SALTI, et al . Diabetes Care 27:2306–2311, 2004
2-E Hui et al , BMJ, 26 june 2010 , Volume 340
49
During Ramadan about 60% of patients change
their antidiabetic drug intake:
 35% stop treatment
 8% change the dosage schedule
 25% decrease the drug dose.
Importantly, this is done at the patients’
own initiative without medical supervision.

The Risks of Fasting Include:
Hypoglycemia
Hyperglycemia
Diabetic ketoacidosis
Dehydration and thrombosis

Almost 90% was T2DM
The important finding was:
 5 folds Increase in severe hyperglycemia with Ketoacidosis that required
hospital admission
 7.5 folds increase in the risk of severe hypoglycemia during Ramadan
 2% Of fasting patients experienced at least one episode of sever hypoglycemia
requiring hospitalization

Classification of hypoglycemia according to
severity: American Diabetes Association
1- Documented
symptomatic
hypoglycemia.
An event during which typical symptoms of hypoglycemia
are accompanied by a measured plasma glucose
concentration ≤ 70 mg/dl (3.9 mmol/l).
2- Asymptomatic
hypoglycemia.
An event not accompanied by typical symptoms of
hypoglycemia but with a measured plasma glucose
concentration ≤ 70 mg/dl (3.9 mmol/l).
3- Probable symptomatic
hypoglycemia.
An event during which symptoms of hypoglycemia are not
accompanied by a plasma glucose determination.
4- Relative
hypoglycemia.
An event during which the person with diabetes reports any
of the typical symptoms of hypoglycemia, and interprets
those as indicative of hypoglycemia, but with a measured
plasma glucose concentration >70 mg/dl (3.9 mmol/l).
5- Severe An event requiring assistance of another person to actively
administer carbohydrate, glucagons, or other resuscitative
actions.

excessive glycogenolysis, gluconeogenesis and ketogenesis. All of
this may lead to hyperglycemia and ketoacidosis that may be life-
threatening.

Dehydration and Thrombosis
• Patients with diabetes exhibit a hypercoagulable state
due to an increase in clotting factors, a decrease in
endogenous anticoagulants, and impaired fibrinolysis.
• Increased blood viscosity secondary to dehydration may
enhance the risk of thrombosis.
• A report from Saudi Arabia suggested an increased
incidence of retinal vein occlusion in patients who fasted
during Ramadan
M. al-Arouj et al, “Recommendations for management of diabetes during Ramadan,” Diabetes Care, 28(2005),
Patients who insist on fasting need to
be aware of the associated risks and
be ready to adhere to the
recommendations of their health care
providers to achieve a safer fasting
experience.

Breaking the Fast
All patients must always and immediately end their
fast if:
1. Hypoglycaemia (blood glucose of <60mg/dl).
2. Blood glucose reaches <70 mg in the first few
hours after the start of the fast, especially if insulin,
sulfonylurea drugs, or neglitinide are taken at predawn.
3. Blood glucose exceeds 300 mg with symptoms of
hyperglycaemia.

Recommendations for Management of Diabetes
During Ramadan for Patients on Insulin
The major objective of insulin therapy during
Ramadan is to provide adequate insulin to prevent
the post meal hyperglycemia and also prevent
hypoglycemia during the period of fasting
The choice of insulin therapy is decided by the
previous therapy that the patient is taking and also
the blood glucose profiles.
Ensure adequate fluid intake

In Ramadan,,,,,Use the usual morning dose
at the sunset meal (Iftar) and half the usual
evening dose at predawn (Suhur), e.g., 70/30
premixed insulin, 30 units at Iftar and 10 units at
suhur.

Premixed insulin :
101
Premixed insulins
 Mix insulin 50/50 at iftar instead of Mix30
reduced postprandial glucose excursions
and reduced hypoglycemia
Consider changing premixed insulin
preparations to glargine or detemir plus

MOST patients will require short-acting
insulin administered in combination
with the intermediate, or long-acting
insulin at the sunset meal to cover
the large caloric load of Iftar & an
additional dose of short-acting insulin
at predawn.
1. ADA. Diabetes Care 2006;29(suppl 1):S4–S42.
105
Patients on Basal insulin analogue
glargine or detemir
It is advised that patients who take long
acting basal insulin, such as glargine, to
reduce the dose by 20% to avoid
hypoglycemia.
Continue taking the same doses of
repaglinide or short acting insulin
106Aly A. Abdel-Rahim.
Advantages of rapid acting insulins
107
PLEASE REMEMBER
108Aly A. Abdel-Rahim.
 Patient education regarding fasting during the
holy month of Ramadan is badly needed.
 Diabetic patients with established renal disease
are high-risk category.
Fasting for prolonged periods, especially in hot
climates, may impose negative impacts on renal
function from hypovolemia and dehydration.
 The mainstay of management of those patients is
targeted toward arresting the progression of their
underlying renal disease, and fasting during
Ramadan should not be recommended.
109
110
Remember
Careful use of intermediate- or long-acting
insulin preparations plus a short-acting
insulin administered before meals would be
an effective strategy.
Adjustment to treatment necessary: e.g.
 Reduce the dose of Basal insulin by 20%
 Use Mix 50 in the evening instead of Mix 30
to avoid post prandial hyperglycemia
Diabetes Care 28.9 (Sept 2005): p2305(7).
111Aly A. Abdel-Rahim.
Treatment should be tailored and
adjusted
112
Some Parting Thoughts
“Fasting is for Me and I (Allah) only will
reward it” (Hadith Qudsi)
“While fasting , if one does not give up
falsehood in words and actions , then
Allah has no need of him giving up food
and drink (saying of Prophet
Muhammad-pbuh)”
HAVE A BLESSED RAMADAN
How to Help Patients Fast Safely ??
Patient Education Program.
Individualization of anti diabetic drugs
Select more safe drugs.
Adjust dose if needed
Ensure good non – sugar fluid intake.
Avoid heavy physical exercise at afternoon.
Ensure good calorie distribution.

  • 48. Ramadan Between Diabetes and Fasting  Although the Koran exempts sick people from the duty of fasting, many Muslims with diabetes may not perceive themselves as sick and are keen to fast.  43% of patients with type 1 and 86% of those with type 2 diabetes fasted during Ramadan. 1-IBRAHIM SALTI, et al .

An event during which typical symptoms of hypoglycemia are accompanied by a measured plasma glucose concentration ≤ 70 mg/dl (3.9 mmol/l). 2- Asymptomatic hypoglycemia. An event not accompanied by typical symptoms of hypoglycemia but with a measured plasma glucose concentration ≤ 70 mg/dl (3.9 mmol/l). 3- Probable symptomatic hypoglycemia. An event during which symptoms of hypoglycemia are not accompanied by a plasma glucose determination. 4- Relative hypoglycemia. An event during which the person with diabetes reports any of the typical symptoms of hypoglycemia, and interprets those as indicative of hypoglycemia, but with a measured plasma glucose concentration >70 mg/dl (3.9 mmol/l). 5- Severe An event requiring assistance of another person to actively administer carbohydrate, glucagons, or other resuscitative actions. 52 American Diabetes Association Workgroup on Hypoglycemia.

  • 108. 108Aly A. Abdel-Rahim.  Patient education regarding fasting during the holy month of Ramadan is badly needed.  Diabetic patients with established renal disease are high-risk category. Fasting for prolonged periods, especially in hot climates, may impose negative impacts on renal function from hypovolemia and dehydration.  The mainstay of management of those patients is targeted toward arresting the progression of their underlying renal disease, and fasting during Ramadan should not be recommended.

  • 110. 110 Remember Careful use of intermediate- or long-acting insulin preparations plus a short-acting insulin administered before meals would be an effective strategy. Adjustment to treatment necessary: e.g.  Reduce the dose of Basal insulin by 20%  Use Mix 50 in the evening instead of Mix 30 to avoid post prandial hyperglycemia Diabetes Care 28.9 (Sept 2005): p2305(7).
