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
- 3 dates + 1 glass water
- Wait 10 mins
- 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.
