A questionnaire containing knowledge, attitude and practice questions about fasting during Ramadan was used to collect data. Data about age, gender, city of residence, nationality, level of education, and history of diabetes in family were also collected. Descriptive and inferential statistics were carried out using IBM-SPSS Version 21.Results: The mean total score for knowledge, attitude and practice was 16.5 ± 3.72 (out of 27). The individual scores for knowledge, attitude and practice were: 9.67± 2.53 (out of 16), 4.10± 1.28 (out of 6), and 2.77± 1.08 (out of 5), respectively. Gender (OR: 4.08, 95% CI: 1.05,15.79 and p< 0.041), education (OR: 0.068, 95% CI: 0.008,0.594, p< 0.015) and family history (OR: 5.086, 95% CI: 1.095, 23.630 p< 0.038) were identified as independent determinants of the total score.Conclusion: Gender, Family history of diabetes and Education are determinants of knowledge, attitude and practice regarding fasting during Ramadan in the T2DM patients. A significant knowledge practice gap exists that necessitates further strengthening of the Pre-Ramadan education program for T2DM patients.Keywords: type 2 diabetes mellitus, fasting, ramadan, knowledge, attitude, practiceAlsunni AAAlbaker WIAlmansour AHAlenazi ASAlaftan MSBadar ADove Medical Pressarticletype 2 diabetes mellitusfastingramadanknowledgeattitudepracticeSpecialties of internal medicineRC581-951ENDiabetes, Metabolic Syndrome and Obesity: Targets and Therapy, Vol Volume 13, Pp 151-159 (2020)
