My mom has diabetes. Our yorkie Tucker is able to tell when her blood sugar drops, and alerts her of it. Or if she's asleep he'll wake her up. He wasn't trained, it's just something he does naturally.
Personally, I don't think you should try to get your dog trained as a service dog if you don't really need one. I guess it's that there are so many people who actually do depend on them, that people using them that don't really need them downplays the importance of them.
