Type 2 Diabetes Talk

Micronutrients may be needed in tiny amounts, but they play an enormous role in how your body functions, including how it processes glucose and responds to insulin. And research suggests that deficiencies in several important vitamins and minerals are common in people with type 2 diabetes and prediabetes.
In this episode, Dr Jedha explores why these deficiencies occur and takes a closer look at vitamin D, magnesium, vitamin B12, vitamin C, and other important nutrients. Micronutrients are important for diabetes!
You'll also learn why food quality matters, when supplements may be useful, and why good diabetes nutrition isn't only about reducing carbohydrates. It's also about giving your body the nutrients it needs to function at its best. When you do that, blood sugar and metabolism have the neccesary fuel to heal, rebalance and renew.

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.
