When should I take Daonil, before or after meals?

Q: I am 50 years old. I am suffering from diabetes. Daily I take one tablet of Daonil in the morning before breakfast and one before dinner. What is the right time to take the Daonil tablet, before or after meal?

A:It should be taken before meals, but in true sense it does not make any difference even if it is taken after the meal. It works for more than 12 hours; hence, the total dose may be taken in two divided doses every day.
