I am a male, 46 years old. I was put on medication about 6 months ago. I've been having trouble keeping my sugar levels in check. I'm not sure if I should take my medicine in the morning, when I eat a meal or at bedtime. Someone told me that bedtime is best since your body is inactive and not burning sugar.

You can take Onglyza at any time of day; however, you should try to take it at the same time every day. For the medication to work properly, it must be taken as prescribed.
Your doctor would perhaps be the best person to give you advice when to take the med as he/she who prescribed the med would know your diabetic history better, take care & be well!
