“Something good?” She raises her brows behind the purple-tinted lenses.
“Definitely.” If I had to describe what hanging out with Nova is like, I’d use the wordeasy. Despite her reactive hypoglycemia, she’s the least needy girl I’ve ever known.
Nova removes a tube of what looks like chewable vitamins from the bag and sets it in the basket.
“What’s that?”
“Glucose tablets in case my sugar drops. I don’t think it will, but I like to be prepared just in case.”
I hate that she has to worry about that all the time. My sister’s condition will pass after the pregnancy, but Nova will have this for the rest of her life. I looked up reactive hypoglycemia. When Nova’s blood sugar levels drop, they can make her feel shaky, anxious, unsteady, sick, hot, weak, and like she’s about to pass out. If her blood sugar drops too low, she will pass out or have a seizure. There is no cure, and she could develop diabetes later in life.
I like how she’s prepared, but I want to be able to help if she gets sick, too. I worry about her, even if she isn’t mine to worry about.
