Ramadan fasting with diabetes: an interview study of inpatients' and general practitioners' attitudes in the South of France.
The aim of this study was to evaluate attitudes in hospital inpatients and physicians towards Ramadan fasting and diabetes in Marseille. ⋯ This study confirms the importance of Ramadan fasting for Muslim patients, and reveals a wide cross-cultural gap between GPs and their patients. Systematic advice on treatment adjustment needs to be given. For this reason, we encourage more sensitive care of these patients and more medical training for physicians.
