Research showing that diabetes increases clots and the reasons for that: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S105687270000132X https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5870234/
If a diabetic patient is injured, their wound may take longer to heal, leading some to believe that diabetes impedes blood clotting. This is an incorrect assumption. Medically, diabetes is classified as a prothrombotic condition, meaning it actually increases the likelihood of blood clotting rather than decreasing it.
The real issue faced by diabetic patients is the impairment of "wound healing." This is because insulin is a naturally anabolic hormone, responsible for building protein in the body. Due to the lack of insulin or its ineffectiveness in diabetic patients, the body's ability to repair wounds— which primarily depends on protein building at the site of injury—is weakened.
Since diabetic patients have a higher predisposition to blood clots, whether venous or arterial (such as cerebral clots), it is essential to follow these guidelines during the month of Ramadan:
We will provide links to scientific research in the description that explains how sugar increases the likelihood of clotting and the scientific reasons behind it.
