Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice Jun 28, 2019
Al-Ozairi E, et al. - Researchers examined the impact of fasting during Ramadan on depression and diabetes utilizing a multivariable regression with adjusting for potential confounders. Data were gathered from 463 candidates at three time points. In order to measure depression, a paired t-test was used to examine the difference between PHQ-9 score and PAID score difference before and after Ramadan. Compared with males, female candidates had a 1.17 greater point decline in PHQ-9 score. Findings revealed that improving depression is vital for controlling complications of blood glucose and metabolic disorder in people with diabetes. People with diabetes who have depression can improve their depression by enhancing self-discipline, self-control, and disease management.
