#shadow travel causing hypoglycemia is a cool concept regardless and i am adopting it into my personal canon

[death-himself]

does shadow travel just cause hypoglycemia? Because in the first ToA book, Nico shadow travels and passes out, and Will's response was to give him gatorade, which has a shit ton of sugar in it. And then in another ToA book when Nico shadow travels, I think Will gives him a kitkat bar or something, which again has lots of sugar

symptoms of hypoglycemia/low blood sugar are fast heartbeat, shaking, sweating, anxiety, confusion, hunger, and dizziness, which I feel are some of the things Nico was experiencing during BoO when he was constantly shadow travelling I haven't read BoO in a while tho so I'm not sure

if this is the case, how did he and Will find that out, because I can't imagine Will deciding to do a random blood glucose test on him, and they would probably just assume all those symptoms are just caused by shadow travel or something else Nico was dealing with. But they had to have figured it out at some point because why would the camp doctor just give him gatorade and not actual medicine or anything
