Our story
Hi, I'm Naomi. I made Glow because I needed it.
I've lived with type 1 diabetes since I was 12. That's over 20 years of low blood sugars, chalky glucose tablets, warm juice boxes, and digging through my bag for something that works.
I always wondered why something so important had to be so unpleasant.
So I decided to do something about it.

Twenty years of lows. Same terrible options.
If you have diabetes, you know the drill. You're going about your day when suddenly your blood sugar drops. Maybe you're out with friends, in a meeting, halfway through a workout, or fast asleep at 3 a.m.
And what do you reach for? The same chalky glucose tablets or juice boxes you've been carrying around for years.
After more than two decades of living with type 1, I couldn't understand why we had better technology, better tools, and better ways to manage diabetes than ever before, but the options for fast-acting carbs hadn't really changed.
I wanted something that worked, that I could take anywhere, and that I actually wanted to eat.
It seemed like a pretty reasonable ask.
So I decided to make something better.
For over a decade, I worked in finance. But somewhere along the way, I couldn't shake the idea that there had to be a better option for people like me.
I wasn't interested in creating another candy or another diabetes product that felt like medicine. I wanted to make fast-acting carbs something you could actually feel good about carrying, using, and eating.
That's how Glow was born.
Gummies made with dextrose, the fast-acting glucose I had relied on for years, in flavors that actually taste good. Four gummies give you 15 grams of carbohydrates, in a format that's easy to carry, easy to eat, and ready when you need it.
No chalky tablets. No bulky juice boxes. No settling for something just because it's what we've always had.
Just a better way to get your carbs.
Made for people who get it. By someone who does.
One of the best parts of building Glow has been connecting with so many people who understand exactly why I started it.
People who have spent years stuffing glucose tablets into every bag they own. Parents making sure their kids always have something on hand. People who are tired of feeling like every little part of living with diabetes has to be clinical.
Glow started with my own experience, but it's become something much bigger than that.
The feedback, encouragement, ideas, and stories from this community have helped shape Glow into what it is today. And as we grow, I want to keep building it with the people who inspired it in the first place.
Because at the end of the day, we're not just making gummies. We're trying to make one small part of living with diabetes a whole lot better.

I'm so glad you're here.
I started Glow because I wanted something better for myself. Getting to share it with so many other people who understand exactly why it matters has been the most rewarding part of this whole experience.
Whether you've been living with diabetes for decades, you're newly diagnosed, or you're here for someone you love, I hope Glow makes your day a little easier — and a lot sweeter.
Thanks for being part of it.
