Voluntary Fasting for a Diabetic Patient

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: I am a patient with diabetes, but I love to fast, though it causes me hardship. Is it permissible for me to fast voluntarily? Is this allowed for me?

Answer:
This is contrary to what is preferable. It is preferable that you be gentle with yourself and not burden yourself. Yes.
