Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar during which Muslims must fast from dawn to sunset. Islam exempts ill and weak people from fasting including high risk patients with diabetes, but a number of them fast regardless of medical advice. Ramadan focused education is a key component for patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). The aim of our study was to assess the knowledge and awareness of type 2 diabetic patients after a Ramadan focused educational program. This cross sectional study was carried out on patients with type 2 diabetes willing to benefit from a Ramadan focused educational program, 2 weeks prior to Ramadan. Data on sociodemographic characteristics, lifestyle habits, physical activity, blood glucose monitoring, hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia management were obtained. After Ramadan, a questionnaire was used to collect information on patients’ knowledge regarding Ramadan education. Results showed that this study included 176 type 2 diabetic patients with a response rate of 62%. The mean age of our patients was 58 ± 8,1 years. The mean duration of diabetes was 4 ± 6 years. Antidiabetic treatment adjustment was done in 69% of patients, 53% of patients were advised not to fast during Ramadan but 35% of them decided to fast anyway. Patients monitored their blood glucose in 68% of cases and 30% of patients were aware of hypoglycemia and interrupted fasting in 6% of cases.
