< I had several glucose spikes as high as 160 milligrams per deciliter of blood (normal fasting glucose levels are less than 100, but we don’t yet know what level is normal after eating).

Most likely a Dexcom G6.
But if you are interested in testing yourself, get this: https://www.amazon.com/Precision-Glucose-Monitoring-Freestyl...
You extract a pin drop of blood and it shows your glucose in a few seconds.
