Up and down: Testosterone is difficult because like the share market it goes up and down. Has to be done same time each day on a formal blood test. You may wish to have a consultation with a doctor to sort out whether your problem relates to testosterone and if so what testing and monitoring you need.

Hormones : Hormones are substances made in extremely tiny amounts, they travel vast distances to do their job and hitch a ride on proteins sometimes to get there, like the subway. One can measure the level of hormones over time and plot it however measuring continuously is difficult because it's a small amount compared to glucose which is abundant in the bloodstream. Testosterone actualybigger than glucose.
