Body weight, glycosylated hemoglobin were determined before and immediately after Ramadan in both groups while glycosylated protein was also measured in 9 diabetic patients. In the diabetic patients, there was no significant change in their weights 75.2±12.8 vs 74.1±12.4 kgs., P=NS; glycosylated hemoglobin (10.9±3.1% vs 10.5±2.8%, P=NS; glycosylated protein (1.19±0.35 vs 1.17±0.39, P=NS) after the 30 day Ramadan fast. In the non-diabetic controls, there was a statistically significant loss in weight during the Ramadan fast 74.2 ±10.4 kgs. vs 72.5±10.2 kgs., p |
