What is a normal blood sugar? It sounds like a simple question, but after one of my TikTok videos sparked hundreds of comments and heated debates, it became clear that many people are confused about what "normal" actually means. Is 180 mg/dL (10 mmol/L) after a meal really normal? Are doctors lowering the bar? And what do the diabetes guidelines actually say?

In Part 1 of this two-part series, Dr Jedha breaks down the science behind normal fasting blood sugar, post-meal blood sugar and HbA1c in a practical, easy-to-understand way. You'll learn the difference between normal blood sugar and treatment targets, why that distinction matters, and what the latest evidence says about lowering your risk of diabetes complications. If you've ever wondered what numbers you should really be aiming for, this episode is for you.
