115: Blood Sugar One Hour After Eating

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.
