Answer
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
It is permissible to withdraw some blood to check for sugar while fasting. It is also permissible to take an insulin injection while fasting, as long as it is not taken directly into the stomach.
However, you should consult a Muslim doctor on whether it is advisable for you to fast or not.
And Allah knows best
Wassalaamu `alaykum

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
