2. North Carolina D-Mom Pamela Heyward likes to describe
herself as a “Mom on a Mission."
That mission: To create a fast-acting glucose product that raises
blood sugar quickly but isn't a glucose tablet and doesn't
require all the guesswork that goes into calculating how much
juice or candy you might need.
What Pamela invented is the new glucose powder pouch known
as Glucose SOS, As of Spring 2014, she's gotten her new
product off the ground and into the hands of people with
diabetes and, one low blood sugar at a time, is making a
difference in people's lives.

3. Describing her family as one that eats healthy and doesn't drink juice, but instead sticks to fresh fruits, protein and
water, Pamela says it became clear that they needed another glucose option.
"If you have three lows a week and you treat with juice or candy, that's 26,000 more calories a year and 7 pounds of
weight gain," she says, noting it's all the other ingredients aside from the glucose that impact weight. "And because
it's not as fast-acting but has to be converted, that means extended periods of low blood sugars then make you want
to eat more... which then causes your blood sugars to skyrocket. It's a vicious cycle, and that's what I wanted to
address."
So she started exploring other easy-to-carry options like a healthy powder form. What resulted comes from years of
trial and tribulation, Pamela says. She used to have all kinds of glucose products shipped to her home, and laughs
now at how the post office probably thought that she was up to no good.
4. The idea for a new type of fast-acting glucose first came to mind several years ago on a family ski vacation.
Two of Pamela's four kids have type 1, and she remembers bundling up her two diabetic daughters for a
gondola ride: Tayler, who's now 26 and was diagnosed at age 3, and Emily who's 24 and was diagnosed at 13.
"We had just gotten the kids all dressed up to go out on the gondola, and they went low," Pamela recalls. "We
had to undress them and treat, and then I started thinking about how scared I was to send them up on that
mountain. That got my wheels turning -- that I wanted an alternative sort of glucose instead of tablets or juice
that would be easy to carry."
5. After years of struggling, praying, learning, planning, and finally creating, the dream of helping diabetics all over the
world, has come to fruition. “Glucose SOS” is ready for the Global Marketplace, and after many years of development
and trials, “The Miracle Mom” couldn’t be more pleased at how it has emerged.
“Glucose SOS” is a super fine powder that is convenient, easy to use, great tasting, and packaged in a water proof
packet. Each packet provides 15g of glucose which is the recommended amount put forth by the American Diabetes
Association. It is the optimum dosage for a controlled metered approach to low blood sugar management.
So from a “Mom on a Mission” to “Mission Accomplished”, the relentless pursuit to develop an effective and
appealing form of Glucose, has arrived.
6. “She has a vision for the fast acting glucose
product that has driven her to tackle every
obstacle she has encountered. My feeling is that
her product will fulfill a need in the market for
diabetic products that have not seen any
innovation in years. I admire her for the passion
she brings to making her product a reality and the
endurance and drive to develop a product that will
help diabetics like her daughters”.
-Robert Estey-CEO Mastix Medica-LLC
“I am so impressed with your focus and tenacity.
This is a project that obviously means so very
much to you, and it is amazing to see you never
waiver in pursuit of your goal”.
