چکیده
|
Extensive work has been done to analyze the safety of various modern glucose-lowering drugs during ramadan fasting. this editorial suggests the use of validated scales of religiosity/spirituality as an adjunct to pre-ramadan counselling and risk stratification. the editors also propose a holistic trial design for future trials on glycaemic management during ramadan. such a design should include both spiritual and biomedical endpoints,while trying to assess correlation between religiosity/spirituality and biomedical outcomes after ramadan fasting. integration of validated instruments to screen and monitor spirituality will help achieve the holistic health in devout muslims who wish to observe ramadan. � 2016,pakistan medical association. all rights reserved.
