Abstract

Introduction: There is as yet no consensus as to the effect of RAMADAN fasting on fasting blood glucose. We carried out a study to help clarify the situation. Methods: This was a semi-experimental (pre- and post-) study of 115 healthy volunteers (67 men and 48 women), who fasted for at least 25 days during RAMADAN. Blood samples were taken 7 days before RAMADAN (at 7am after a 8-hour overnight fast), and on the 14th and 28th days of RAMADAN (1 hour before sundown). The mean duration of daily fasting was 11.5±0.5 hours. PLASMA GLUCOSE was measured by an enzymatic assay. Statistical analysis was by the paired-t and ANOV A functions on SPSS10.0 software. Results: Fasting PLASMA GLUCOSE in the group as a whole decreased from 88.4±9.0 mg/dl preRamadan to 75.4±15.3 mg/dl on day 14 and 62.9±7.7 mg/dl on day 28 (p<0.001). Both men [87.5±8.8 mg/dl (pre-Ramadan) ® 60.8±6.4 mg/dl (day 28)] and women [89.7±9.3 mg/dl (pre RAMADAN) ® 65.7±8.4 mg/dl (day 28)] experienced a significant decrease in fasting PLASMA GLUCOSE levels (p<0.001 in both). There was a reduction in calorie intake during RAMADAN in every volunteer (p<0.001), and there was a direct correlation between reduction in calorie intake and fasting PLASMA GLUCOSE (p<0.01). Conclusion: Fasting PLASMA GLUCOSE decreases with RAMADAN fasting and is associated with a reduction in calorie intake. The decrease in PLASMA GLUCOSE does not seem to be accompanied by any serious adverse effects in healthy volunteers, however.
