On the day of Karva Chauth, the wife observes Nirjala fast for the long life of her husband. But observing Karva Chauth fast can prove challenging for diabetic patients. In an incurable disease like diabetes, it is very important to take care of your eating habits, otherwise your health can be badly affected. Therefore, if you have diabetes and are going to observe Karva Chauth fast, then you should know about some common mistakes which can be detrimental to your health.
mistake of not taking medicine
Are you also going to make the mistake of not taking medicine on the day of fasting? It is very important for diabetic patients to take medicines regularly. Your health may deteriorate due to not taking medicines, hence there is no sense in being careless in this matter. Apart from this, to protect your health from deteriorating, you must include protein rich food items in Sargi.
Keep checking sugar level
Diabetic patients are often advised to check blood sugar level two to three times. Amidst the busyness of fasting and performing other rituals, women often forget to check their blood sugar level. You should not make such mistakes and keep checking your blood sugar level on the day of fasting. If your blood sugar level is low, you can drink milk.
thing to note
If you are a diabetic patient, then you must consult your doctor before fasting. Health experts advise patients suffering from diabetes not to observe Nirjala fast. Instead of observing Nirjala fast, you can do normal fasting, that is, you can control your blood sugar level by including fruits in your diet.
