NCT ID NCT07384728
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how fasting during Ramadan impacts treatment adherence, emotional well-being, and blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes. Researchers will compare those who fast and those who do not, using surveys and HbA1c tests before and after Ramadan. The goal is to help nurses create personalized care plans that respect religious practices while keeping patients safe.
