Ramadan Fasting Risk in Diabetes (IDF-DAR)

Risk-stratify a person with diabetes for fasting during Ramadan using the IDF-DAR risk categories. Essential across the GCC, Middle East and Muslim-majority Asia, where diabetes prevalence is among the world's highest.

High-risk factors (any one → high risk)

Moderate-risk factors

IDF-DAR Risk Category

Low risk

No moderate- or high-risk factors selected

Recommendation
