Default Upping your dose question

OK...so tomorrow I am supposed to up my dose from 500mg to 1000mg. Any tips on what time of day to take my second dose? I'm supposed to go up by 500mg per week till I get to 2000mg. Will I be OK taking it with a late dinner, should I eat it with lunch?

Thanks in advance for your advice!

Tori

If you take your first one at breakfast, take your 2nd with supper to spread out the insulin regulation.

Good luck!

I took 500mg with breakfast and 500mg with dinner. I then started adding 250mg with lunch though I don't know if it was really necessary to take it at lunch too. I figued the more spread out it was the better.
