Hi all, whats the rule of thumb if you miss a meal? Do you still take your medication then eat as soon as possible?

Depends what meds you are taking.

1000 mg of metformin in the moring, 160 mg of gliclazide. Tea time another 1000 metformin and 80 gliclazide

I'm not on gliclazide so can't comment on that but I'm on metphormin and I take 3 times a day not always with food.

are you taking metph. every 8 hrs or with meals ,I try to figure out which is more effective.

The metformin, taking a relatively long time to build up/die back, I would keep constant, independent of meal variation. The gliclazide, functioning by stimulating the pancreas, I would cut back on, if missing a meal. (& if I were delaying a meal by 2 hours I would delay taking the Glic by the same 2 hours)
