Confused

[Pie-eater]

My consultant said don’t eat 2 hours before AND 1 hour after taking Adoport, making 3 hours without food altogether. I’ve just picked up my new supply and noticed a sticker saying 2 hours after food OR an hour before. Has the advise changed or was I told wrong in the first place? As I’m diabetic it can be problematic going 3 hours without food. Thanks in advance.

We checked this after hubbies transplant and were told by dietician and pharmacist that it didn't matter too much. Hubby takes his at 10am and 10pm - 10am one ends up not long after breakfast. Dietician said hubby can not go 6 hours a day not eating. (He too is diabetic).

I was back at work full time 3 months post transplant. I wouldn't have had the time for that level of faffing about. I take it straight away in the morning and then when I can, early evening. ( often straight after food)This has had zero negative impact and my consultants seem fine with it. (2 and a half years post transplant) I guess there are the " ideal" circumstances to take it and then reality! Regularity is key .

Thanks for the replies. I thought they weren’t that strict over times when I was in hospital post transplant, the nurses are too busy to faff about getting the timing spot on.
