Carb counting has been standard diabetes advice for decades, but if it worked as well as many people hoped, far fewer people would still be struggling with high blood sugar, rising A1c, weight gain, and frustration.

In this episode, Dr Jedha explores why carb counting became important mainstream advice for diabetics, where it often falls short, and why understanding the overall carbohydrate burden on the body is far more important than simply counting numbers on a page.

Food confusion is one of the biggest reasons people struggle to improve their blood sugar and A1c.

You’ll learn why low GI doesn’t always mean blood sugar friendly, whether full-fat dairy products are actually okay to eat, why honey still behaves like sugar in the body, and what to do if you feel addicted to sugar and stuck in old eating habits. Dr. Jedha also explains why some common breakfast foods can send blood sugar soaring and what to eat instead for more stable glucose levels.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by conflicting diabetes nutrition advice or wondered what foods are truly best for type 2 diabetes or prediabetes, this episode delivers practical, evidence-based answers in a clear and easy-to-understand way.

Prediabetes is often described as a warning sign. Blood glucose levels are higher than normal, but not yet high enough for a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes. In most medical discussions, the focus is on preventing diabetes or reducing risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

But there is another way to think about prediabetes.

Instead of simply managing it, the goal can be to restore normal glucose regulation. In other words, achieving prediabetes remission. That's the topic we're revisiting in this episode.
