Mohamed Hassanein et al.

Summary: The study aimed to investigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the intentions to fast and outcomes of fasting in Muslim individuals with type 1 diabetes mellitus during Ramadan.

Both hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia were major complications of fasting during Ramadan, regardless of age.

Long-Term Outcomes of in Utero Ramadan Exposure: A Systematic Literature Review

Melani R. Mahanani et al.

Summary: Most studies suggest negative consequences from in utero Ramadan exposure on health and economic outcomes, with adverse effects including higher mortality rates, shorter stature, lower BMI, increased incidence of disabilities, and lower educational scores. However, evidence on the long-term impacts is limited. Awareness of potential risks of Ramadan fasting during pregnancy should be raised, and better maternal healthcare promoted by clinicians and antenatal care workers.
