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
Collection
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

... Why didn't you take insulin? If you're eating you must always take insulin. I've had Diabetes for 8 years. My bloodsugar have never gone super-uber high because of soda, even when I didn't take insulin.

Can that actually happen?

#67 there's something called "outside USA". You should try... (for information, in Europe fast-food restaurants fill drinks for you, in any country. And OP posts from France... For health's sake, bad habit don't cross the ocean too easily)

Stupid. I've been type-1 diabetic for 17 years and I've always known the difference. There is no possibility of a lawsuit because they'll say "we didn't force it down your throat did we?" If your diabetes is so out of control that you get that sick from a single regular soda, then maybe you should pay a little more attention to your A1C and not be eating out. And yeah, you would have done insulin for eating anyway. Your fault for getting sick. And like #71 said, your blood sugar wouldn't have gone high enough to put you out of commision from a soda without insulin.

actually people win lawsuits over much stupider things... this is a far more legitimate case than a lot of other ones that go through the courts.
