Hello Suresh and thanks writing in at HCM
Firstly Oral medication for diabetes are taken half an hour before meals but make sure that you take meal after half an hour of medicine.
The sugar level is well controlled by this medication at early stage. Sugar levels much depend on the meal you have taken. Take the meal as indicated in diabetes i.e. no sugar, no rice, no potato, on fat, oil and junk food, use more baked food and do regular exercise. After these precautions check you fasting and PP blood sugar level. If it is still high than consult your doctor for revised medication.
Please don't try to stop medication and take the medication at a fix time because diabetes is silent killer.

add bittergourd,fenugreek(menthulu),fiber foods to diet
take limited amount of food...
small amounts many times a day to maintain regular constant blood glucose levels
