Fasting with Adrenal Insufficiency

Fasting with Adrenal Insufficiency

It is important that Muslims who want to fast speak to their healthcare team well before Ramadan starts. Our patient leaflet gives tips on reducing the risks of becoming ill if you decide to fast, when it's advisable not to fast and offers alternatives to those who are considered too high risk for fasting.

This letter has been authored by Dr Shazia Hussain in collaboration with ourselves and collaborating PSGs: The Pituitary Foundation and CAH, and reviewed by the Clinical Advisory Panel.
