Question
I take medication daily after a heart attack and stenting three years ago (Cardiloc, Azecor, and Aspirin). Additionally, I was recently diagnosed with diabetes and take Glucomin daily with food. Am I required to fast, or can I fast until midday? I am 63 years old.
Answer
Hello,
According to the instructions of the Gaon, Rabbi A. Fried, shlita,
you should fast until midday, and then eat and drink as usual.
