When to take Metformin HCL

I take 1,000 mg of Metformin HCL twice daily, normally about 1 hour before breakfast and 1 hr before dinner. I test my blood sugar each morning. I discovered by accident that if I take my evening dose before bed rather than before my evening meal, my blood sugar is substantially lower the next morning. Is this OK, or should I continue to take it before meals?
