Diabetes UK has launched its new Ramadan calendar, which gives information about fasting and diabetes control at this important time. Diabetes is very much an issue that affects the Muslim community. There are more than 2.2 million people in the UK with diabetes, and people of South Asian origin are up to four times more likely to develop Type 2 diabetes. Ramadan calendar 2008 We hope that by distributing the calendar through more than 130 mosques across the UK we will help people to manage their condition effectively during Ramadan, when it can often be a challenge. It is important that the document is referenced during Ramadan as much as possible, which is why we have included a prayer and fasting timetable. We hope that this will make the document useful for the entire 30 day period.
