In guinea pigs fed a high-cholesterol diet, lutein (0.1 g per 100 g) therapy prevents degenerative diseases in the liver by lowering hepatic free cholesterol, lipid peroxidation, and attenuating the inflammatory responses known to be involved in the development of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) [74]
Immediate Management If hypoglycaemia occurs: Break the fast immediately this is medically necessary Have 15-20g fast-acting carbohydrates: 3-5 dates 120ml fruit juice 3-4 glucose tablets Wait 15 minutes and reassess symptoms If symptoms persist: Have another 15-20g carbs and seek medical attention Prevention Strategies Ensure adequate complex carbohydrate intake at Suhoor (covered in Part 2) Never skip Suhoor this is critical when on GLP-1s Monitor symptoms closely, especially in Week 1 of Ramadan Consider dose reduction if on higher doses (Mounjaro 10mg+, Wegovy 1.7mg+) Keep glucose tablets handy if on higher doses Important: The risk is LOW in non-diabetic patients, but being prepared is essential
Consider a gradual tapering protocol with your provider rather than abrupt discontinuation
[1] [2] This extended half-life provides some metabolic benefit during short interruptions but also means that side effects may persist for several weeks after discontinuation
