[EN] Thriving with Type 1: Why This Melt-Proof Candy is My New Go-To for Low Blood Sugar

In the late afternoon, my blood sugar started to dip, and I began feeling those early signs of hypoglycemia (a bit of restlessness and some finger tremors). Fortunately, I acted fast and popped some Ramune candies, which saved me from a major crash. With the hot summer months ahead, melting snacks in my bag is always a worry, but Ramune is melt-proof and super easy to carry around. I was so relieved to see that my blood sugar rose gradually and leveled off beautifully—a truly ideal recovery!

【Quick Summary】

• Just after 4:30 PM, my blood sugar dropped to 74 mg/dL, triggering my first warning signs of a low.
• Eating three large Morinaga Ramune candies resulted in a gentle rise of about 37 mg/dL.
• My blood sugar peaked beautifully at around 111 mg/dL just after 5:00 PM, followed by a very smooth and gradual decline.

[My Data After Eating Ramune]

• Around 16:30, you can clearly see the graph line dipping right down to 74 mg/dL, barely hugging the green dotted line.
• After eating three Ramune candies around 16:50, the graph curves upward beautifully, forming a gentle, steady slope.
• Without any sharp spikes, it settled back nicely into the stable 80s mg/dL range by 17:30.
