IDF – DAR Risk Calculator: For Healthcare Professionals Only

Calculate risk of a person living with diabetes before opting to fast using the 2021, IDF-DAR risk stratification algorithm published in the IDF-DAR Practical Guidelines, chapter 5: Risk stratification of people with diabetes before Ramadan.

  • The new IDF-DAR risk stratification defines three risk categories and provides a risk score that includes multiple factors that play an important role in the fasting recommendation for each category i.e. low risk, moderate risk and high risk
  • The scoring system was designed considering different factors which influence fasting.
  • For a given individual, each risk element should be assessed, and the score should be totaled.
  • The resulting score will determine the overall risk level for an individual with diabetes that is seeking to fast during Ramadan.

Score 0 to 3
Low risk
Score 3.5 to 6
Moderate risk
Score > 6
High risk
