No idea, I think she assumed she had narcolepsy or something. It would just happen randomly in class on a semi-consistent basis, she’d just be zonked out in the middle of a lecture. It’s college, so everyone just assumes it’s partying. Not sure if it had only recently started after she started going to school or how long it had been going on for. She’s doing pretty well for herself now though.
I think it’d be easier to detect now, as it seems like blood-testing seems a more common occurrence now, at least for me. This was maybe 10-15 years ago, and especially as a college-student, it didn’t feel like I got as many regular blood tests as I’ve gotten now that would be able to instantly show me I’m diabetic or even pre-diabetic. I get blood drawn every few months now between work wellness checks and my own doctor visits, whereas then I don’t ever remember getting my blood checked for anything. Could be she just didn’t have good insurance or didn’t have a doctor who bothered to check.
