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?

To all you supposed "diabetic experts": learn about type 2 diabetes. Not every diabetic is given insulin. Others are given PILLS (ooo what a novel medical concept) like metformin or glyburide, something that you can't just give yourself an extra 5 unit boost for incidents like this. OP, I'd have to get more information about what you had to eat and how long you've been diabetic before saying FYL or YDI. If you've been a long time diabetic and you wolfed down a super-sized combo, a shake, and dessert, that regular pop most likely isn't the sole cause of you getting sick, you completely deserve it, and I recommend speaking to a dietitian about your diet. (In fact if you got sick HOURS later it would probably be all the other stuff you ate, as liquids tend to process through your system a bit faster than the solid stuff.) However, if you had a salad (like what DDlife said) and maybe a kid's fry, yeah, I could see how this is an FYL and you'd have a reason to be ticked off. As a diabetic myself, I get unsweetened iced tea as much as possible- very easy to tell when I've been given the sugary stuff.

He should still be monitoring it better either way. Obviously if his blood-sugar can go high that much easier, he should be watching it even more closely shouldn't he?

This has been said numerous times, but how the hell can't you taste the difference? Also, WHY are you eating at a fast food joint??

But most people in America don't know how fast food places work outside, because.. We haven't been everywhere, some of us haven't been anywhere. But the drive-thru place applies to every country I can think of.

Um, I can't tell the difference between Diet Coke and regular Coke though I can tell the difference between Pepsi and Coke. Also, I know that in some European sodas, they replace corn syrup with sugar, so the difference in taste might not be pronounced. And to all of you calling him a fatass, you're telling me you've NEVER been to a fast food restaurant before? He didn't say he eats eat every day or every week. It's possible to have the occasional meal from McDonald's and still be healthy. The kids meal is actually part of Weight Watchers, and their cheeseburgers have like 300 calories, which really isn't that much if you just have that, a diet soda, and apple dippers or a fruit 'n' yogurt parfait or whatever. I know that I was on Jenny Craig for a while and I could still eat the kids meal and lose weight that week. I'd definitely say FYL, and everyone who says YDI is just a pessimistic fucktard trying to make everything someone else's fault.

it is their fault for drinking it, yeah the restaurant made a mistake, but nobody forced them to actually drink it, so yes it is their fault for consuming it. Even if they went through drive-thru, they could have stopped somewhere else and gotten a diet soda or something else without sugar to drink instead of continuing to drink the sugary regular soda. And since he/she wasn't forced to drink it they have no case for suing, NONE! The most the can do it let the restaurant know what happen so that employees can be trained to be more careful. You can't sue over everything, especially not when drinking the soda was a choice.

I didn't say that he should sue, I just said that this was most definitely an FYL.

Next time dine in and if God Forbid you again get sick puke on their floor!! And leave Lol
