Oruç tutan diyabet hastalarının oruç esnasında gelişen istenmeyen olaylarına geriye dönük bakış*
Abstract
Aim: Type 2 diabetes prevalence continues to increase and the disease is still healthcare problem. Fasting, which is a part of daily life, is demanded by diabetics and the opinion of the physician is requested. In this study, it was aimed to investigate the frequency of adverse events experienced of diabetic patients by fasting. Material and Method: After 2018 Ramadan, 30 patients that were admit to Kırıkkale University Medical Faculty Internal Diseases outpatient clinic were evaluated. Hypoglycemia, symptoms of hypoglycemia, presyncope, syncope, dehydration, hypotension, severe weight loss, or any symptoms they described were questioned. Hospital or emergency room applications were questioned. Patients’ ages and HbA1c levels were examined. Before Ramadan, they were asked whether they received a doctor’s opinion. Findings: Median age was 53, median HbA1c was 7.3%. Eleven male and 19 female patients were evaluated. Two patients had hypoglycemia and one had hypoglycemia symptoms. No other adverse events were observed. It was learned that the patients who had hypoglycemia continued their old treatment without taking the physician’s opinion. Conclusion: It is useful to determine the risk group of diabetic patients who want to fast, and to follow up closely about the appropriate individual therapies for avoiding any adverse events.
