About

This randomized controlled trial evaluates the impact of therapeutic education, with or without personalized coaching, on clinical and biological outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes during Ramadan fasting. Participants were randomly assigned to three groups: Control (usual care), Education Only, and Education plus Coaching. All received a 30-minute pre-Ramadan education session; the Education plus Coaching group also had follow-up telephone consultations. Outcomes included HbA1c, fasting blood glucose, cholesterol, BMI, and blood pressure measured before and after Ramadan. The study aims to assess whether structured education and ongoing coaching help patients fast safely and maintain better metabolic control.
