A SAFER RAMADAN
About A Safer Ramadan
Our A Safer Ramadan Toolkit is available for any health organisation to purchase to provide community awareness, Healthcare Professional (HCP) training and patient education sessions to help raise awareness in your local community of the need to fast safely with Type 2 diabetes during Ramadan.
This exciting initiative aims to support people with Type 2 diabetes who wish to observe the holy month of Ramadan and to do so safely, as well as raising awareness of safer fasting to the local community and HCPs.
As one of the activities carried out during the holy month of Ramadan is fasting during daylight hours this can cause confusion and apprehension towards what measures need to be taken to have a safe Ramadan.
The toolkit is made up of three interconnecting components:
Community Awareness
Healthcare Professional Training
Patient Education Sessions
