This year, Ramadan is expected to start on the evening of Friday 28th February 2025 and take place until Sunday 30th March 2025. It is a time of fasting, reflection, prayer and community for Muslims around the world.
If you are affected by a pituitary condition and are wanting to fast during Ramadan, it is important to speak to your GP or healthcare provider beforehand, to be sure that you can do this safely. Our leaflet, Fasting with Adrenal Insufficiency, provides useful information to help you observe Ramadan safely if you have adrenal insufficiency.
This leaflet is endorsed by the Society for Endocrinology, and was created in collaboration with Addison’s Disease Self-Help Group and Living With CAH. It is also included in the British Islamic Medical Association (BIMA) Ramadan Compendium.
Please note, this leaflet is for informational purposes only and does not replace advice given by your GP or healthcare provider. If you have any questions or concerns about how you can fast safely with adrenal insufficiency, you should seek advice from your GP or endocrinology team.
