Stimuli‐responsive supramolecular hydrogels comprising self‐assembled nanofiber networks are attractive soft materials because of their potential application in materials science and bionanotechnology. Here, we describe a general strategy for the rational design of stimuli (redox‐ or photo‐)responsive supramolecular hydrogelators by introducing stimuli‐triggered degradation units into the N‐terminal of a dipeptide. We also demonstrate that its coupling with glucose oxidase allows us to produce a glucose‐responsive insulin‐releasing gel matrix.
