Rehana is a third-year medical student at Lancaster University. She conducted a study about Ramadan and whether this has an effect on glycaemic control. This topic was of personal interest to her as she fasts every year along with her family, some of whom have diabetes mellitus and still fast during Ramadan. Hence this study allowed her to have an insight into glycaemic control during this period and whether fasting should be avoided in people with diabetes.
