  2. Summary of the Plot Lucy Szabo, A 16-y.o. diabetic, goes through the hardest part of her life yet. She goes deeper and deeper into the Goth style, and everyone worries about her. What adds to their stress is the fact that Lucy doesn’t keep track of her blood sugar, so she has about 6-7 insulin reactions (when her blood sugar is too low/high) a week. Lucy is also “taking a semester off” of school, thus causing her to get grounded. In the end, she has a reaction while out one night and “snail,” her blood sugar in the 800’s.
