ive got type one diabetes aswell....last year i spent a week in hospital and i wasnt allowed to fast, but other than that i've always managed to keep my fasts giving fid'iah (compensation) for only one about 20 fasts last year that i couldn't manage to keep.......i had to break a couple of fast also because i ended up having hypos (low blood sugars for those who don't know what it means).....

apart from that i have to check my blood sugar levels every 2 hours through out the whole day starting from 8:00 am, and i adjust my insulin dose accordingly to how high or low my blood sugar levels were at sehri time and according to how much i eat at sehri.....usually i take 4 injections a day but in Ramadhan i only take 3.....1 i take at sehri (fast acting)and 2 (one fast acting one slow acting) i take at iftaar time.......but then that depends on the type of insulin your on and how many times u take it in the day........

thru out the day i cant really do much i just end up sitting around reading Quran or Tasbeeh till i've opened my fast.......usually just about half an hour before iftaar time my sugar levels drop really low and every 5 mins i have to measure to make sure they don't drop low enough for me to become unconscious......

before me my diabetic doctors and nurses had never heard of fasting and Ramadhan......because it was something new to them them were eager to experiment with me and try different insulin types etc to see which best suited me and how my health stayed........

talk to you diabetic nurse and doctor they should be the best help for u Insha'Allah......ive got an appointment tomorrow at the hospital for my checkup and seeing as it will be the last one b4 Ramadhan they will discuss everything regarding it.......

i hope everything gets sorted out Insha'Allah and your health stays well through out the whole of Ramadhan and u manage to keep your fast.......and if anything does happen during your fast which require you to break it don't put off breaking it remember that you are excused and u have a valid reason for breaking your fast....

one last thing....if your sugar levels are running too high during the day while you are fasting then it is permissible to take a couple of units of fast acting insulin as injections are permissible to be taken whie fasting.....
