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. In this Diabetes Foods Q&A episode, Dr. Jedha answers real listener questions about carbohydrates, glycemic index, honey, dairy, cheese, oats, sugar cravings, and the foods that may secretly be spiking your blood sugar, even when they’re marketed as “healthy.”

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.

A question that confuses a lot of people: Does exercise actually lower blood sugar?

Because sometimes people go for a walk and see their glucose drop… and other times they exercise and their blood sugar actually rises.

So what’s really going on?

In this episode we’ll break down the science in a very simple way. We’ll look at what’s happening inside your muscles during exercise, why skeletal muscle plays such a central role in blood sugar control, and how different types of exercise affect your glucose levels.
