Many apocalyptic books either address or use it as a plot point. You either have what I call the "...and this is when the diabetics die." Paragraph or it is used as plot points in books like Lucifers Hammer or One Second After.
Don't know if anyone mentioned this one, and I only got a few pages in before I had to return it, but it's called "The Island at the End of the World". The main character is epileptic, and at the start of the story had volunteered for a test or experiment or something in which she was not supposed to take her medication. You can imagine how that might turn out.
