Gestational diabetes sugar level

My wife has recently been diagnosed with gestational diabetes. She is 28 weeks pregnant currently. Is there any ideal time for taking the fasting sugar levels ? We've noticed that the results vary quite a bit within 15 mins after waking up. Numbers tend to go down quite quickly in a span of 10-15 mins
