Question keeping perspective...

You want to keep your perspective here.

1) fasting of 72 is pretty low. More typical would be 90.

2) 110 is not a "spike", it is a mild elevation.
my son just got his test results back--he is 26--- and his fasting glucose was in the mid 80's.

The choice of words here -- spike--- communicates to me that you are
anxious. This alone will not be good for your health.

While it is still rare young people are presenting with Type II diabetes, it is happening. But most of the late teens and early 20's are obese, with terrible daily habits.

Severe stress that is continual will raise cortisol levels in your blood and therefore raise blood sugar.

I am curious as to what you do for a living there in Korea. Are you under alot of stress there for some reason?
