Incidence of hypoglycemia in patients with type 2 diabetes treated with gliclazide versus DPP-4 inhibitors during Ramadan: A meta-analytical approach

Highlights • Individualized Ramadan-focused advice minimizes risk of hypoglycemic events (HEs). • Patients taking a DPP-4i or gliclazide when fasting during Ramadan have similarly low risks of HEs. • Randomized-controlled studies are needed to assess OADs and incidence of HEs during Ramadan.
