About

Diabetes Mellitus individuals are known to have dietary rules, namely regulating the amount, type and time of eating. Ramadan fasting seems to be beneficial for people who want to reduce their weight, but it is not easy for diabetic patients. Because of its distinctive features, Ramadhan induces changes in eating habits, calorie consumption, sleeping patterns, and daily physical activity, which may contribute to changes in hunger-satiety responses and glicemic control. Examining changes in gut hormones during Ramadan fasting may reveal whether this observance could change glucose metabolism in diabetics without triggering the undesirable effect of gluconeogenesis. The proportions of fat, protein, and carbohydrate in meals vary between outside and within Ramadan. Alterations in timing and composition meal during Ramadan lead to reduced food intake may affect gut hormones and metabolic responses. The aim of this study to determine whether the effect of Ramadan fasting differed in people with DM patients, pre-DM and healthy individuals, with respect to gut hormones, body composition, metabolic parameters, and glycemic control
