Data are shown in median (range). P = P-value vs. pre-Ramadan. MAGE = mean amplitude of glucose excursions, ADM = anti-diabetic medication, SU = sulphonylurea, CV = coefficient of variation, TIR = time in range (70–180 mg/dl), TIHyper = time in hyperglycemia.
(>180 mg/dl), TIHypo = time in hypoglycaemia (< 70mg/dl).
