HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Unlike insulin, there is no particular time of day that the oral medications need to be used.
They can be used either before or after meals, there is no specific recommendations, once they are taken at approximately the same time every day.
Once taken around this same time, they should be able to work effectively to help reduce your blood sugar.
I hope this helps
