Today, in almost every household in India, someone or the other is suffering from diabetes. Someone close to you may also be suffering from high blood sugar. In such a situation, you may have seen many times that since this disease cannot be cured, it is very important to control it. In such a situation, diabetes patients take a pill on an empty stomach i.e. before eating and then eat food or breakfast after some time. This is so that their blood sugar level does not increase immediately after eating.
However, many times while travelling or being busy with some work at home, people forget to take the sugar pill before eating and eat something. Now since the medicine is for an empty stomach, the patient does not take the pill after eating thinking that the medicine may harm them or the sugar level may increase further. If you or any of your relatives feel the same, then after getting information from a well-known endocrinologist, you will not think like this.

The doctor told me whether I can take the medicine or not?
Former President of Endocrine Society of India and Endocrinologist Dr. Sanjay Kalra told News18hindi that there are many medicines for diabetes. Some medicines have to be taken half an hour or about 60 minutes before eating. At present, most of the medicines can be taken 5-10 minutes before or after eating.
But if a patient forgets to take his diabetes medicine before eating, he can take it after eating. There is no harm in this but it definitely has the effect that the medicine will be less effective. It is not right to skip the medicine or not take it.
medicines don’t cause harm
Dr. Kalra says that if you have forgotten to take the morning medicine, you can also ask your doctor if that medicine can be taken in the afternoon. Generally, all diabetes medicines can be taken in the afternoon instead of in the morning.
