    How This Works

    This calculator uses the IDF-DAR (International Diabetes Federation - Diabetes and Ramadan) risk stratification framework, adapted for general and religious fasting. Each risk factor adds points to a cumulative score:

    Risk Factor Points
    Type 1 Diabetes+3
    Insulin use+3
    Sulfonylurea use+2
    3+ hypo episodes (past 3 months)+3
    1-2 hypo episodes (past 3 months)+1
    HbA1c above 9%+2
    HbA1c below 6% (hypo risk)+1
    Kidney disease (CKD Stage 3+)+2
    Diabetes complications present+1
    SGLT-2 use (DKA risk during fasting)+1
    Heavy physical activity+1

    Note: Pre-diabetes without other complications contributes 0 additional points - it is generally lower risk for fasting.
