Summary   Aims  There is a large population of people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2 DM ) who are Muslim and fast during Ramadan. Changes in the pattern and amount of meal and fluid intake during Ramadan, in addition to the long fasting hours, may increase the risk of hypoglycaemia, hyperglycaemia, and dehydration. The Canagliflozin in Ramadan Tolerance Observational Study ( CRATOS ) evaluated the tolerability of canagliflozin, a sodium glucose co‐transporter 2 inhibitor, compared with sulphonylureas among patients with T2 DM  who fast during Ramadan.    Methods  This non‐randomised, parallel‐cohort, prospective, comparative, observational study was conducted in the Middle East during Ramadan and enrolled patients who were taking canagliflozin (n=162) or any sulphonylurea (n=159) added to metformin±dipeptidyl peptidase‐4 inhibitor. The proportion of patients who experienced hypoglycaemia events was assessed as the primary end‐point. Between‐cohort comparisons were adjusted using propensity score analysis.    Results  During Ramadan, fewer patients experienced symptomatic hypoglycaemia with canagliflozin vs sulphonylurea (adjusted odds ratio: 0.273 [95%  CI : 0.104, 0.719]). Of hypoglycaemia events for which blood glucose was measured, two of six with canagliflozin and 27 of 37 with sulphonylurea were confirmed by blood glucose &lt;3.9 mmol/L. More patients treated with canagliflozin experienced volume depletion events compared with sulphonylurea (adjusted odds ratio: 3.5 [95%  CI : 1.3, 9.2]). Missed fasting days were few and medication adherence was high in both groups. No patients treated with canagliflozin and 9.4% treated with sulphonylurea adjusted their medication dose near the beginning of Ramadan. Both treatments were generally well tolerated, with low rates of adverse events and no serious adverse events in either group.    Conclusions  Overall, these findings support the use of canagliflozin for the treatment of adults with T2 DM  who fast during Ramadan.    ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02737657
