Should non diabetics monitor blood sugar?

I actually got my sugar checked once just out of curiosity cuz my dad is diabetic. It was normal. My doctor said if there's no family history or symptoms, yearly checkups are enough. Daily monitoring is for people with the condition.

If I started monitoring every little thing, I'd probably spend more time stressing than living! Unless your doctor has a good reason for you to do it, just eat relatively healthy, stay active, and don't turn into a human pincushion for no reason, haha.

I totally panicked last year because my uncle was diagnosed with diabetes and I thought, 'Oh no, what if I have it too?' Got my blood sugar tested, and it was perfectly fine. Don't stress too much if you're generally healthy; just include it in your annual health checkup.

Some smartwatches and apps claim to track blood sugar, but they're not accurate for medical diagnosis. It's good to keep an eye on your general health metrics like weight and activity, but for blood sugar, a lab test is the way to go if you have concerns. Otherwise, yearly checkups are enough.
