If chemicals like oxytocin, dopamine, and serotonin are so crucial to our mental health, why can’t we monitor them the same way diabetics monitor insulin?

A comment I didn’t see yet, with diabetes, the by product of lack of insulin/insulin resistant is high blood sugar levels, we don’t track the hormone, we track glucose.
There is not enough understanding about the by product of those hormones.

Blood sugar (the important thing when you’re diabetic) can be checked with any drop of blood. Neurotransmitters, on the other hand, are produced within the brain and remain within the brain, and tend to be released by one neurone and absorbed by another almost immediately. So there wouldn’t really be a level you could calculate unless you just took the entire brain, which we don’t have the technology to do
