Brief Answer:
Yes Diapride can be split.
Detailed Answer:
Hello, Madam.
I understand your concern.
Yes, you have two options-
1.Either you can split Diapride.
2.Or Shift 3mg for the night.
The 2nd option has a greater impact since Diapride is an insulin secretagogue causes rise in insulin secretion overnight and help to stabilise FBS .
After one week of making the adjustment, you need to recheck FBS nad PPBS.
Post your further queries if any.
Thank you.
