Today, I ordered a Diet Coke with my meal from a fast food restaurant. Turns out, they didn't give me diet. My blood sugar spiked and I was sick for hours later. I'm a diabetic. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, while on a date, I accidentally ordered "diet water" instead of saying "diet coke". FML
Today, while at work, I suddenly went into diabetic shock. As I was nearly passed out on the floor, a customer yelled at me for not getting his coffee in time. FML
Today, at lunch I ordered a Coke. The waiter replied, "Diet Coke?" and I corrected him saying, "No, regular Coke." He shook his head and said again, "Diet Coke." FML
Today, my waiter turned to me and asked, "Let me guess, Miss I'm-not-fat-I'm-fluffy wants a Diet Coke?" FML
Today, my boyfriend and I decided to stop by a drive-thru on the way to his place. I asked him to order a Coke for me, at which point he asked if I wanted to make it a Diet Coke. FML
Today, my manager gave me hell for leaving the restaurant early yesterday. Guilty as charged, but only because I was rushed to the hospital after going into diabetic shock. This assmunch is convinced that I either faked it all to get off work early, or that I'd been eating our own stock. FML
Today, I was proud of myself for buying the lowest calorie option at a Subway that I could walk to. By the time I managed to get there my blood sugar severely crashed (it didn't help that two people in front of me were ordering subs for their family and coworkers). I ended up buying six cookies to stave off the crash. FML
Today, I took a test as part of a job requirement. I took a sip from a bottle of juice, and the lady leading the test gave me a warning. I tried to explain that if I didn't, I would faint. She took the bottle and hid it. 15 minutes later I collapsed. She thought I was faking. I'm hypoglycemic. FML
Today, after a very long day, I got home from the swimming pool at 10:30 pm. I didn’t have dinner, I was super hungry, so I ordered a pizza while walking back home. 35 minutes later, only a can of coke arrived. Apparently, I that's all I actually ordered. FML
Today, due to increasing frequency and severity of hypoglycemic symptoms, I went to the doctor. Apparently, the pill may have given me a rare form of temporary diabetes. She wants me to be a case study for the next 12 months. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I'm also diabetic, when I first got diagnosed this happened a couple times because I couldn't tell the difference between the diet and normal. Most of the time now I can tell the difference, but some times you're just not sure, so I usually order water then :)

And please Britterss, it's hard to be a diabetic, if he is type two, then I agree, it's not the best for him, but he can still have it once and a while. If he is type one he is free to eat absolutley whatever he wants, he just has to be careful he doesn't pass his carb intake schedule. If he is going to eat too many carbs, then I'm sure he would just take more insulin, so please don't critisize people.

ITT: Most people are morons, don't know anything about diabetes, or fast food joints for that matter, judgemental people and people who like to tell others what to do with their lives or bodies, and people who don't seem to realize how important it is for employees need to stop ******* up orders for people who have health issues. STOP ******* UP. It's your job, it's not that hard, I'm sure we've all worked at a fast food joint, stop being an idiot and pay attention to the screen right in front of your face.

YDI because there is a very, VERY distinct difference between the taste of regular and diet sodas. Plus, you should've checked your sugar two hours after your meal like a person with diabetes is supposed to.

If there's the danger that you can be very, very sick, why didn't you just pick a bottle of water? This looks like a dumb thing to say but actually...it isn't. Unbelievable that you would still take the risk..

I'm gonna call fake. My parents are both diabetic and drinking one pop isn't going o do that. Also, all you people seriously want someone to get fired over a simple mistake? Chill out!

My dad is diabetic because he had a kidney transplant and it screwed up his entire system... and I can assure you that one drink (with probably around 70 or 80 carbs) can and will do that to you. He's supposed to eat around 60 carbs a meal; so the carbs in that one soda are more than what he's supposed to eat altogether.

"And I'll give you two guys, a friendly piece of advise, ok? Don't ever go up to the drive-thru, ok? Always walk up to the counter. You know why? Ok, ok, ok, ok. They **** you at the drive-thru, ok? They **** you at the drive-thru. They know you gonna be miles away before you find out you got ******, ok? They know you're not gonna turn around and go back. So, they don't care. Who that's ******? Oh, Leo Getz. Ok, sure. I don't give a ****. I'm not eating this tuna, ok?" Came to my mind as I read this lol.

Oh yes, so because every fast food restaurant you've been to gives you your own cup to fill, every place in the world must follow suit, right? You're a ******' moron.
