I think a HbA1C will show more. Also a fasting INSULIN test.

Elevations with fasting insulin point to insulin resistance. (prediabetes).

A1C will show the average of blood glucoses over time.

Doctors only look for high blood glucose readings for "diabetes"...but the process involves more than that, before frank elevations become high.
