The University of Mysore’s Department of Studies in Food Science and Nutrition has invited volunteers for its proposed study on variation blood glucose levels during fasting during Ramzan.
The aim of the study titled ‘Impact of personalised nutrition on blood glucose control’ is to help diabetics avoid complications such as hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) during fasting and guide them about choice of food during Sehri (pre-dawn meal) and Iftar (breaking of fast in the evening), said Asna Urooj, professor, Department of Studies in Food Science and Nutrition, Manasagangothri.
The study seeks to evaluate the impact of personalised nutrition on lipid profile, body composition, and other parameters among type 2 diabetic subjects fasting during Ramzan.
