To eliminate the blood sugar test results, with the limitations you describe as definitive, getting an A1c test allows you to get the average blood sugar over three months. Gives a much better idea of how somebody is doing with blood sugar issues. A spike is averaged out over time

Hey, I eat apples after dinner and blueberries with my oatmeal every single day - I love fruit!
My point, obviously poorly made,🥹was that it is folly to focus on sugar as the “fuel” for cancer. Cake, cookies, strudel…I love’em all and eat them only once in a while in order to maintain a healthy weight. Moderation once again, as always!
Fasting glucose levels can be tricky so I make sure never to have fruit or dessert the night before a blood draw; who wants their PCP on their case about pre-diabetes and all that?
If I had time to burn up that sugar before the test I’d do it, but I’m not a jump out of bed and hit the treadmill kind of guy.
