I also never really told anyone that I was a diabetic purposely. Many people asked about my insulin pump and once I was in my math major, I became friends with people that were in a lot of my classes and they were around incase of an emergency. I just keep glucose tablets and crackers with me at all times. If I felt a low BS coming on, I would slip some tablets and crackers during the lecture. This summer I did have somewhat of a seisure during a documentary at the end of class. It was a graduate class and I was the only undergraduate. (I am starting a graduate program tomorrow) I believe most people just thought I was falling asleep.... in that case, I wished I had told someone. Afterward, I came to somewhat on my own and I was able to eat some glucose tablets and leave class early. I apologized and explained to my professor after class what had happened as it was a smaller class and he definitely noticed that I was "sleeping" and then left.
