✦ Our Story ✦

How It All Began

A person living with type 1 diabetes makes over 180 health-related decisions each day.

Managing type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a daily balancing act. It’s a relentless cycle of monitoring, adjusting, and planning—without any breaks.

Despite all this effort, the T1D community is overlooked and underserved.

So many solutions for diabetes management feel outdated, uninspired, and disconnected from the realities of daily life—forcing us to settle for products that are just “good enough”.

You deserve better.

You deserve tools that work as hard as you do – so that you can spend less time worrying about highs & lows and more time embracing what makes you glow.

Because managing diabetes doesn’t have to feel like a chore.

Glow was created to make products that seamlessly fit into & improve daily T1D life, empowering people with T1D to live life without limits.

Hi! I’m Naomi, the founder of Glow.

Born in England, raised in Boston and now a proud New Yorker, I spent over a decade in finance before pursuing a new purpose—making life with T1D easier for everyone.

I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at 12 years old. Since then, I’ve faced my share of ups and downs with T1D—but I’ve never let it hold me back. That is the message that I want to share and support through Glow.

I’m passionate about creating something that puts the community first – by challenging what we’ve accepted as “good enough” for T1D care and creating innovative products that make our lives easier.
