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?

You can't taste the difference? And why are you eating fast food as a diabetic, anyways? Maybe it was the rest of the grease that sent you over.

What if they are a type 1 diabetic and they went to a fast food chain for a salad and diet soda? How the hell can you be so judgmental? Oh yea cause you are JESUS and are PERFECT! FYL!

I have made enough comments on other peoples comments already (yes I have read them all). Some people make me so happy because I think "YAY there are other considerate, helpful, good people like me out there that care about other people than themselves." However there are, of course, people out there that just want to blame the person. I think these people would blame a child for being molested. "You deserve it for being attractive! FYA (**** you all). I HONESTLY hope that anyone who tells the OP YDI will be inflicted with something and THEN they will try to beg for sympath/empthy and will not be able to because their situation is the same. (I am not religious, but I do believe in karma).

Imagine that a narrow minded person not caring about any evidence proving them wrong. Hmmmmm.

I have so much to say about this fml that in reality I could occupy every space available on this comment section, but I don't want to do that so I'll get to the point. I have type 1 diabetes

if you are diabetic then you shouldn't be eating fast food in the first place!!

Omg people are stupid. They probably have type 1 diabetes. It is fine to have fast food if you take the right amount of insulin! You are thinking of type 2 diabetes which is caused by obesity. But fast food is fine once and awhile if you measure the carbs properly and take the right amount of insulin.

just so you know, it's NOT based on just weight. Yes, being overweight or obese can make the problem worse, but there are skinny people who have type 2 diabetes as well. It can run in the family.

How is this a YDI? Maybe he hadn't got a regular soda in a while and couldn't really sense the difference. However, he could have remarked to the employee that he was diabetic just in case they din't pay attention or didn't really care and used to give the drink which is closest or something. And I can't believe some of the BS being said in some comments. It's like the only diabetes is Type 2 and heshouldn't eat fast food. Really? What about type 1, huh? And given the way it's prashed (sp?) I tend to think is Type 1. T1 can eat whatever they want and inyect/bolus insulin for that!! Almost everything has carbs, it's not that you can avoid inyecting and needing that insulin. Hating the "sue culture" also. I mean, OK the employee screwed up, but a spike in BS is not the end of the world. No needing to SUE! in big sparkling letters xD

I agree. There's more than one type, and it's possible to plan ahead and figure out the amount of insulin needed. and fast food is just bad in general. Once in awhile, as a treat, sure. But not a couple of times a week, too much saturated fat :/
