Research is revealing that the one-hour blood sugar reading after eating may be one of the most important and overlooked markers of metabolic health. In this episode, Dr Jedha breaks down the science behind the One-Hour Glucose Test and why it’s gaining attention as an early indicator of diabetes risk.

You’ll learn how the one-hour glucose spike reflects insulin function and metabolic stress, why it often rises years before traditional tests change, and the key research-backed threshold that keeps showing up across studies. We also explore what higher one-hour blood sugar levels mean for people with normal glucose, prediabetes, and type 2 diabetes, including links to progression risk, cardiovascular health, and long-term complications.

Most importantly, Dr Jedha explains how you can use simple at-home monitoring to identify glucose spikes and make practical nutrition and lifestyle adjustments that can lead to meaningful health improvements.

In this episode we’re zeroing in on the hidden engine that drives the progression of diabetes and every complication in diabetes: an altered metabolism and the systemic metabolic disruption that occurs in the body.

We explore the interesting story of how the carb-fat-protein pathways collide and can throw the whole body out of sync. When glucose, lipids and amino acids all go a bit crazy, they feed each other, fuel inflammation, and set the stage for blood sugar imbalances, complications like neuropathy, retinopathy and eye issues, kidney problems or disease, stubborn weight gain, through to issues like heart disease.

We also discuss simple strategies to reverse metabolic roadblocks and improve diabetes health.
