[3940] Religious requirements, which mandate practices like fasting etc., plays a role in limiting patients’ ability to comply with medical advice on proper diabetes care[41] leading to hyperglycemia, diabetic ketoacidosis, dehydration and thrombosis. [42] Figure 1 summarizes, the barriers with respect to convenience and life-style.…”
