Improvement of Glycemia Risk Index and Continuous Glucose Monitoring Metrics During Ramadan Fasting in Type 1 Diabetes: A Real-World Observational Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Managing glycemia during Ramadan is challenging for individuals with type 1 diabetes (T1D) due to prolonged fasting and altered eating patterns. While many are exempt from fasting, some choose to fast, necessitating careful monitoring. The glycemia risk index (GRI) is valuable for assessing glycemic quality and interpreting continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) data to identify individuals needing closer clinical attention. This study investigates the effects of Ramadan fasting on glycemic control in T1D, focusing on GRI and its components for hypoglycemia (CHypo) and hyperglycemia (CHyper).

Method

An ambispective study involved 186 individuals with T1D using intermittent scanning CGM (isCGM). Data were retrospectively collected for one month before Ramadan and pros
