Apart from Islam, Christianity, Judaism, and many other religions such as Hinduism, Buddhism have fast worship, and Christians also have worship in certain periods of the year as in Islam. It is estimated that 1.5 billion people fasted all over the world during Ramadan. According to the countries and the fasting season, the period of fasting can vary between 9-21 hours. Some patients are told that they should not consult fasting physicians and fasting under physician control, or that some patients should not fast by the physician. But most importantly, some patients are fasting without medication consultation and face serious health problems. As the studies about fasting increase, many studies have shown that many patients can safely fast by physician control and regular follow-ups. We also wanted to share the follow-up results of three types of diabetic patients reporting fasting and fasting in this article at their own discretion.

Oruç ibadeti ve diyabet: olgu örnekleriyle bakış

Öz

İslamiyet dışında Hıristiyanlık,
Yahudilik gibi semavi dinlerde ve Hinduizm, Budizm gibi daha pek dinde oruç
ibadeti vardır ve Hıristiyanlarda da İslamiyet’te olduğu gibi yılın belli
dönemlerinde farz ibadet olarak geçmektedir. Tüm dünyada Ramazan ayında 1,5
milyar kişinin oruç tuttuğu tahmin edilmektedir. Ülkelere ve oruç tutulan
mevsimlere göre oruçlu olunan 9-21 saat arasında değişebilmektedir. Bazı
hastalar hekime danışıp hekim kontrolünde oruç tutmakta veya bazı hastalara da
hekim tarafından oruç tutmaması gerektiği söylenmektedir. Ama en önemlisi bazı
hastalar hiç hekime danışmadan oruç tutmakta ve ciddi sağlık problemleriyle
karşılaşmakta hatta hayattalarını kaybedebilmektedir. Oruçla ilgili yapılan
çalışmalar arttıkça pek çok hasta grubunun hekim kontrolünde ve düzenli
takiplerine gelerek güvenle oruç tutabildiği pek çok çalışmada gösterilmiştir.
Biz de kendi isteği ile her halükarda ben oruç tutacağını beyan eden ve bu
taleple polikliniğe başvuran pek çok hastamızdan üçünün takip sonuçlarını paylaşmak
istedik.
