שאלה:

To whom  this may concern,
I am 48 year old women with many health issues. I am in the following medications: oroxine, digoxin, sotacor, dostinex, lyrica, endep, lipidil, Crestor and aldactone. In the past I have taken my medication with a shiur of water.
I don't have kidney failure . My  creatinine level was 66 on august 27 th.
However, three weeks ago I commenced a diabetic medication known as metformin. My endocrinologist said that I need to drink 1 to 1.5 litres of water while I am fasting and should eat if I feel very unwell.
Can you please advise me on what I should do halachically.
Thank you,
Adina Waller

תשובה:

Dear Mrs. Waller,

We advise you to follow the recommendations of your Doctor. You may drink 1-1.5 litres during Yom Kippur by "Shiurim": you can drink 40 milliliters every 5-7 minutes. You may rest during the day and of course take your chronic medications. If you fill unwell you may measure your blood-glucose by glucometer as needed and eat if you have low sugar.
