Fatwa #359222 November 2001United Kingdom

I am diabetic and thinking about becoming a muslim I am prone to fainting - can I take blood tests to monitor my blood sugar during ramadan

Answer

Shari'ah (laws of Islam) are balanced and have taken into consideration
different circumstances.

If a person is ill to such an extent that he will faint due to fasting, then
he will be excused from fasting. Such a person may give Fidya (compensation)
for not fasting. However, taking blood tests during fasting is permissible
and that does not invalidate the fast.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
