What kind of measurement tool do you have? Since the radio is on for a very short time for each packed, you would need a measurement tool with a high resolution, like an oscilloscope or a power analyzer. Then you can measure the current consumption over a few seconds to get a good average.
Also remember that the current drawn in sleep mode is very small (~4uA), so the sensitivity of the scope/analyzer must be high enough.
You may also try to even out the current flow with an RC filter, if you have a large enough cap you should be able to use an ampere meter to measure the average current. But you should still check the input of the filter with an oscilloscope to check if the ripples are even enough.
