Alex & Ronnie, best friends since elementary school

Made by a Type 1 diabetic and his best friend

Alex was diagnosed with Type 1 at 11 and grew up on the same glucose tablets everyone gets at the pharmacy. He became a marathon runner and an engineer, and the tablets he carried every day never changed.

In 2025 he and Ronnie, friends since elementary school, decided to make the ones they'd always wanted. They spent a year trying every tablet they could find, including ones from Switzerland and Japan, and kept reworking the formula, flavors and packaging until they were happy with all three.

You take these when you feel bad. They should at least taste good.
