UCAN is particularly well-suited for people living with type 1 diabetes because it delivers steady, sustained energy without the rapid blood sugar spikes and crashes caused by traditional fast-acting sugars. UCAN’s patented LIVSTEADY® carbohydrate is digested slowly, helping support more predictable glucose responses and smoother energy over time.

This can make fueling before activity, during endurance exercise, or even as part of daily nutrition easier to manage—especially compared to conventional sports fuels that rely on simple sugars.

Many athletes and everyday individuals with type 1 diabetes use UCAN as part of their fueling strategy because it provides long-lasting energy while supporting more stable blood glucose levels. That said, everyone’s physiology is different, and UCAN should be used alongside regular glucose monitoring and guidance from a healthcare professional. UCAN is not a medical treatment, but it can be a helpful nutritional tool for those looking to fuel performance without the sharp spikes and crashes associated with traditional carbs.Tim O'Donnell
