Can type 1 diabetes fast?
Ramzan ka mahina aane wala hai. I have Type 1 diabetes and take insulin daily. I really want to fast, but my family is worried. Is it safe for someone with Type 1 to observe religious fasting?

Fasting in type 1 can be very risky actually. My cousin has this and her doctor strictly said no to long fasting because sugar drops instantly, ho na. You should definitely check with your specialist first before keeping any upvaas.

Honestly, skipping meals is super tricky for type 1. Even a light walk can drop your sugar levels fast if you are fasting. If your doctor allows some basic fasting, keep some glucose tablets handy and stick to very light strolling only.

In our family, elders always say fasting cleanses the body, but for type 1 diabetes, my uncle's endocrinologist gave strict warnings. Medical advice is first priority here. Please talk to your doctor and don't take any chances with your insulin dosage.
