Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query. There are various tablets (medicines) to treat diabetes. Some of these need to be taken before meals and some with food and some after food. There is no general guideline. It is specific to the drug being used. Plus with some patients taking a drug on empty stomach may cause gastrointestinal upsets, in such situations that particular person may be advised to take certain drugs after food. Thanks.
