Health Guidelines for Patients with Diabetes

Patients with diabetes can perform Hajj, God willing, after conducting a medical examination and knowing their suitability for Hajj, but they must be aware of what they may be exposed to during that:
Hypoglycemia, which may occur as a result of stress, exposure to heat, and changing food and eating regimen.
Injury or ulcers in the feet or others, due to excessive movement and crowding.
Exfoliation of diabetic due to congestion, excessive sweating, and disturbance of the blood sugar level.
Here are guidelines for a diabetic pilgrim to avoid these problems:
Wearing a bracelet around the wrist or carrying an identification card stating that the pilgrim has diabetes and the type of treatment, so that the necessary assistance can be provided when needed.
Taking a glucometer to measure the blood sugar level daily and regularly, especially when you feel an imbalance in your blood sugar level.
Taking adequate amounts of diabetes medications, and following the diet according to the instructions of the specialist doctor.
Ensure that the insulin is cool during its transportation and storage by placing it in the appropriate ice container (thermos) or the refrigerator in the place of residence.
The pilgrim can carry some sweetened juices or sweets with him as a precaution to eat them when he feels symptoms of hypoglycemia.
Make sure to wear comfortable socks to protect the feet from any sores, and avoid walking barefoot.
It is recommended not to start Tawaf or walking between the Safa and Marwa only after taking treatment and adequate food, in order to prevent a decrease in the level of sugar in the blood.
Temporarily stop performing the rituals when experiencing symptoms of hypoglycemia.
Drink water in appropriate quantities and regularly.
Use the electric shaver of the pilgrim.
