Please excuse me asking a 2nd question today folks, But I'm learning so much from everyone on here and it's how I'm educating myself. Here goes .......
I work shifts, and keep odd hours consequently, so taking my prescribed daily medication twice a day is causing me some confusion. The time I get up every day changes depending on my shift. So, whenever that is, I take my first lot of medication with my first meal of the day. (I'm prescribed Metformin 500mg & Gliclazide 160mg both twice a day.) Working on the principle that the 2nd dose of my meds should be taken with food later in the day, and ensuring a sensible gap in between each dose, do others take their meds with their biggest meal ie: dinner? All advice gratefully received.
