Glucometric parameter changes in patients with type 2 diabetes during ramadan fasting: A prospective comparative real-world study.

Background: This study assessed glucometric changes in Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients before, during, and after Ramadan fasting using an intermittently scanned continuous glucose monitoring system (isCGMS).

Methods: This prospective comparative study included T2DM patients aged 30-70 years who were receiving nonintensive insulin in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. In addition to the baseline characteristics, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and ambulatory glucose profile (AGP)-derived metric data were collected at three specific points: pre-, during-, and post-Ramadan.

Metabolic control, adherence to the gluten-free diet and quality of life among patients with type 1 diabetes and celiac disease.

Aims: In this cross-sectional study, we aimed to evaluate metabolic control, adherence to a gluten-free diet (GFD), and quality of life (QoL) in individuals with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and celiac disease (CD).

Methods: We targeted individuals with T1D and CD at a major tertiary hospital in Saudi Arabia. We gathered retrospective data from medical records and prospectively assessed glycemic control using HbA1c and ambulatory glucose metrics, adherence to a GFD using the Celiac Dietary Adherence Test (CDAT), and QoL using the Celiac Disease Quality of Life survey (CD-QoL).
