Control Diabetes During Ramadan with Dr. Firoz

Ramadan is a time of faith, family, and feasting — but for 3 million Bangladeshi Muslims with diabetes, it can feel risky. Good news: With smart planning, you can fast safely, enjoy iftar, and keep sugar stable. Here’s Dr. Firoz’s proven 5-step Ramadan plan.

Step 1: Pre-Ramadan Checkup (1 Week Before)

  • Blood test: HbA1c, fasting sugar, kidney function
  • Medication tweak: Switch to once-daily insulin (e.g., Tresiba)
  • Personalized target: Fasting 80–130 mg/dL, post-iftar <180 mg/dL

Step 2: Smart Suhoor (Fuel for 14 Hours)

Eat at 4:30 AM | Goal: Slow sugar release

  • Protein: 2 eggs or 1 bowl doi
  • Fiber: 1 whole-wheat paratha + shak bhaji
  • Hydration: 2 glasses water + 1 pinch salt

Avoid: White rice, ruti, sugary tea

Step 3: Safe Iftar (Break Fast Gently)

Break at Maghrib | Goal: Prevent sugar crash/spike

  1. 3 dates + 1 glass water
  2. Wait 10 mins
  3. Light meal:
    • 1 bowl haleem (low oil)
    • 1 small roti + grilled kebab
    • Salad (cucumber, tomato)

Avoid: Piaju, jilapi, packaged juice

Step 4: Daily Sugar Checks (3 Times)

  • Suhoor: Before eating
  • Midday (2 PM): If feeling weak
  • Post-Iftar (2 hrs): Target <180 mg/dL

Use a glucometer. Log results in phone.

Step 5: Emergency Plan (Know When to Break Fast)

Break fast if sugar:

  • <70 mg/dL → 1 tbsp honey + water
  • >300 mg/dL → Call Dr. Hasan immediately

Carry glucose tabs + phone.
