Any time is fine as long as you make it a habit

Once a day insulin works for 24 hours so it doesn't work better or worse based on the time you take it but if it is at 8pm then make that "your time" because it will be wearing off by 8pm tomorrow so you don't want to "shoot it" at different times every day

If "supper time" works "for you", go for it - that is perfect
