Right. So actually, you don't know what sugar is doing to your blood
glucose, because you're not catching the spikes.

Try this link for how to test:

And this one for why, and at what levels damage starts to occur:

Sugar will be a pretty fast spike. You might want to start testing at
around 15 minutes and keep going until it drops again.
