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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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?

Maybe people with diabetes, or anyone really... Shouldn't be eating junk fast food.

If your blood sugars are so out of wack you can't drink a regular coke you need to not even be drinking fast food. Diabetes 101.

Actually I'm a diabetic as well (and have been for eight years now) and you can eat or drink ANYTHING as long as you take insulin. Although, I am curious as to why the OP didn't realize it wasn't diet, I can tell right away....

Yes you can eat everything as long as you take insulin, but as your doctor might have told you, it's better to eat carefully and take less insulin, since it's two extremes that **** up your body !

I'm diabetic as well and when that happens I hate it. Once, as a joke, I said 'I should sue' to my family. The waiter heard me and immediately brought me a free drink at a restaurant that usually charges for drinks. Epic win.

im also a diabetic and if you live in canada, or at least in all the cities close to were i live (toronto) you have to watch out for the drink because instead of giving you diet pop the give you regular pop diluted with water. Just some advise but just t be on the safeside i would order regular pop and take insulin for it. At least you know what your getting.

My little brother is diabetic and i have to double check with the waiters and waitresses to make sure it's diet. But, you can still sue the bastards and get a hell of a lot of money.
