Managing Diabetes while Fasting

Menguruskan Diabetes semasa Berpuasa.

Fasting has been a religious and cultural practice for centuries, but it can present unique challenges for those living with diabetes. While fasting can have many benefits, including spiritual and physical rejuvenation, it is crucial for individuals with diabetes to take extra precautions to manage their blood sugar levels and prevent potential health complications.

Puasa telah menjadi amalan agama dan budaya selama berabad-abad, tetapi ia boleh memberikan cabaran unik bagi mereka yang menghidap diabetes. Walaupun berpuasa boleh memberi banyak faedah, termasuk peremajaan rohani dan fizikal, adalah penting bagi individu yang menghidap diabetes untuk mengambil langkah berjaga-jaga tambahan untuk menguruskan paras gula darah mereka dan mencegah komplikasi kesihatan yang berpotensi.


How do you manage Diabetes while fasting?

Test Blood Sugar Levels

Test the blood sugar level at least:

  • 2 days a week

  • Before Sahur

  • 12 noon

  • Before Iftar

  • 3 hours after Iftar

Cancel the fast if your blood sugar level is less than 4 mmol/L or more than 16 mmol/L

Uji Tahap Gula Darah

Uji tahap gula darah sekurang-kurangnya:

  • 2 hari seminggu

  • Sebelum sahur

  • 12 tengahari

  • Sebelum Iftar

  • 3 jam selepas Iftar

Batalkan puasa jika paras gula darah anda kurang daripada 4 mmol/L atau lebih daripada 16 mmol/L

Take care of your Diet

Must eat Sahur:

  • 30 min before Imsak time

  • When the call to prayer is heard, break the fast immediately

  • Drink plenty of water from Iftar time to Suhoor time

Jaga Pemakanan anda

Wajib makan sahur:

  • 30 minit sebelum waktu Imsak

  • Apabila azan kedengaran, segeralah berbuka

  • Banyakkan minum air dari waktu Iftar hingga waktu sahur

Diabetes Drug Modification

Do not stop diabetes medication or insulin without talking to your doctor.

The dose of Diabetes medication or insulin should be modified during fasting.

Injecting insulin while fasting does not invalidate the fast.

Pengubahsuaian Ubat Diabetes

Jangan hentikan ubat diabetes atau insulin tanpa bercakap dengan doktor anda.

Dos ubat Diabetes atau insulin perlu diubahsuai semasa berpuasa.

Menyuntik insulin semasa berpuasa tidak membatalkan puasa.

Physical Activity

Fasting should not be an obstacle for you to keep exercising. However, it is best not to exercise casually in the month of fasting.

You should pay attention to the time and intensity of exercise while fasting. So that the exercise does not disturb your fasting or cause dehydration.

Aktiviti fizikal

Puasa tidak seharusnya menjadi penghalang untuk anda terus bersenam. Namun, sebaiknya jangan bersenam secara santai di bulan puasa.

Anda harus memberi perhatian kepada masa dan intensiti senaman semasa berpuasa. Supaya senaman tidak mengganggu puasa anda atau menyebabkan dehidrasi.


How should you exercise while fasting?

  • High-intensity exercise while fasting can cause muscle mass and muscle strength to decrease.

  • Avoid high-intensity exercise

  • Light and moderate activities: Walking, Cycling, Swimming, Yoga

  • Avoid exercising before Iftar->Risk of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar)

When should you exercise?

The ideal time to exercise is after breaking the fast for 20-45 minutes.

Exercise before Sahur, after eating a little and drinking a lot of water. Then take nutritious food during Sahur.

Bagaimana anda perlu bersenam semasa berpuasa?

  • Senaman berintensiti tinggi semasa berpuasa boleh menyebabkan jisim otot dan kekuatan otot berkurangan.

  • Elakkan senaman berintensiti tinggi

  • Aktiviti ringan dan sederhana: Berjalan, Berbasikal, Berenang, Yoga

  • Elakkan bersenam sebelum Iftar->Risiko hipoglisemia (gula darah rendah)

Bilakah anda perlu bersenam?

Waktu yang sesuai untuk bersenam adalah selepas berbuka puasa selama 20-45 minit.

Bersenam sebelum sahur, selepas makan sedikit dan banyakkan minum air. Kemudian ambil makanan yang berkhasiat semasa bersahur.
