Is it smart to take less dmt2 med when one eats less on given day & go back to med regular schedule when one eats full meals again?

Reasonable approach: If you eat less then your need for diabetes medication would be less. So it would be reasonable to take less med. Then resume full meds, when you eat regularly. Nowadays, it is easy with the self blood glucose check machine.

Your doctor: It is always best to discuss how to manage these situations with your doctor. Having a handle on your diabetes, your doctor knows you and your medications and will be able to give you appropriate recommendations.
