Being an Art major, its really different. In studio classes, we play music, we talk, we can take breaks whenever we want, we can drink (eating only during the 10 min break we get (hey, it's a 4 hr class!). I've left class to answer my phone a couple times, but mainly because I was expecting a call from a) my endocrinologist or b) my dog's veterinarian. Sorry, my puppy is more important than your lecture :-p. But it was always on vibrate, and I just excused myself and came back.

The food thing...I make a point to tell my professors at the beginning of the quarter that I'm diabetic, and occasionally I may have to leave class to get medicine or to eat something. I generally try to keep this at a minimum, but if I have a choice between a hypoglycemic coma and being rude in class...then I'll take being rude.
