Occasionally, it is acceptable to take medication after a meal instead of before. However, antidiabetic medication should be taken before meals to effectively control blood sugar levels. If taken after a meal, the medication may be less effective. It is recommended to take the medication before meals consistently. While taking the medication after a meal once or twice may not have significant consequences, it should not become a habit.
Health Tips
1- Take antidiabetic medicine on time - before food.
