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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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?

My mom's a diabetic and she can't taste the difference between diet drinks and regular anymore. But OP, here's a trick I learned from her. If the soda isn't too cold, put a bit on a test strip and feed it into your glucose monitor. If it's diet, it should say "Low" and if it's regular, it will show the sugar content.

I call bullshit. How couldn't you taste the difference? My two sisters and I can always tell (and yes, all three of us are type 1 diabetics). It's rather obvious.

I'm always skeptical of drinks I order because of that. getting sick from high sugars sucks big time.

for those of you that said YDI, you should be ashamed of yourselves. there are many people in this world whho suffer from diabetes and that DOES NOT mean that they should be kept from doing something as normal as eating fast food. the people working there need to learn to do their job better.

As a diabetic, I know that you can tell the difference between regular and diet before sucking the whole thing down. If you even suspect that it's regular, ask the waiter to pour you a new one just to make sure.

Today, I was working and a man asked for a Diet Coke. Feeling nice, I decided to give him a regular. He's diabetic. FML
