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?

Wow that really sucks... My dad is diabetic as well, and my mom has some problems with her kidneys, which means she can't drink diet soda. A waiter at a restaurant once swapped their drinks, they were both sick afterwards. It was a pain in the ass for all three of us

I can kind of sympathise with you on this. I have to have soy milk in my lattes and such because I'm lactose intolerant. On more than one occasion I've ended up sick because they put regular milk in. FYL OP, and hope it doesn't happen again!

Okay so if you claim to be "diabetic" why are eating at a fast food restaurant when the food isn't healthy in the first place. fast food is greasy, fat, and processed. people who are diabetic have to be cautious about what they eat and fast food is never the answer for diabetic or not

So lots of people are diabetic and not all of them are on strict diet to lose weight, there are type types of diabetes. Type one is juvenile diabetes that you get usually before you're 18 and that is an autoimmune disease and has nothing to do with what you eat. The other type is type two and it is cause by the body not being able to create enough insulin for the person's size. So often with diet and exercise that type will go away completely. Every diabetic I know goes to a doctor every three months so they do not need you or anyone else telling them what to eat or how to live their life.
