Glucose excursions are part of normal physiology because of the lag time between food absorption and insulin release in the pancreas. That’s why glucose testing needs to be done fasting and spot glucoses mean little to nothing in otherwise healthy individuals.

Here is a reasonably balanced article on the subject:

All in all, asking your regular doctor to do an annual HgbA1C would seem to make more sense, and likely be cheaper.

And keep all the OCD health freaks from descending into rampant paranoia.
