I do mine at the same time every morning and night,don't think it matter what you do first as long as it at round about the same time.

I always do mine first thing in the morning before I take meds then in the evening. If im bad I do a check before meds and about 10 mintues after to see if meds make a difference.

As long as the conditions are the same ish I don't think it really matters its to help build a picture of whether the medications are helping and what's the norm for you
