Mayo sets no interval under 1 year. It is a convention, not a verdict: in 153 healthy people wearing glucose sensors, glucose stayed between 70 and 140 mg/dL for a median of 96% of the time. The ADA lists no diagnostic cut point written for a post-meal glucose; its only non-fasting criterion is a random glucose of 200 mg/dL or higher with classic symptoms. Meals differ, so labs and countries print different limits.
