It is often better to check your blood sugar when you wake up, also check it about every three to four hours. That's what many diabetics do....

Fasting blood sugar should be checked as soon as you wake up in the morning.

If it is checked 20 minutes later it is no longer the same (it may be affected by the activity / other factors).
