What’s a good way to measure cortisol levels?

I’m a LADA T1D and I have come to realize that high cortisol levels were what ultimately did me in for my DKA and diagnosis.

Now a few years in, I’ve had periods where I have more extreme stress than others and also I tend to drink a lot more coffee sometimes. My sugar tend to stay stubbornly higher during those periods. But I would really like to measure and get a clear picture so I can see if it’s cortisol or if I’m losing more beta cells.

Has anyone found any products that accurately help measure cortisol? Or even tests that can be done at the doctors office?
