D. Hyperglycemia and needs to regulate her blood sugar.
Rationale: Eating several candy bars spikes blood glucose. High blood sugar causes osmotic diuresis (frequent urination) and dehydration, producing extreme thirst and fatigue. Hypoglycemia causes sweating, shakiness, hunger and lightheadedness (not marked thirst). Type 1 diabetes requires medical diagnosis and insulin only if present. Hyperthyroidism doesn’t explain the immediate thirsty/tired response after sugary snacks.
