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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, while fasting for a medical test, my blood sugar became so low that I had heart palpitations and passed out. My doctor's advice? Fast, so he can run more tests. 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
Today, I was working as a stagehand for one of my college classes. I’m diabetic and can’t go without food for more than a few hours. I was told that if I left early, ate anything backstage, or passed out, I would fail the class. I passed out. 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, while at work I passed out due to my blood sugar not being normal. Despite the fact that it took 10 minutes to wake me, no one thought I was in any sort of danger. After the episode, I then got fired for "sleeping on the job." FML
Today, I tried donating blood for the first time because my company was hosting a blood drive. Right after telling everyone I wasn't afraid of needles, I fainted before they could even use one. I woke up surrounded by phlebotomists offering me juice while my coworkers whooped like I'd just scored a goal. FML
Today, I had to take a drug test for a new job. I ended up spilling the cup of piss all over myself. I had to explain what had happened, then go sit in a waiting room full of disgusted-looking people, while I kept drinking water to fill my bladder back up. FML
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
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 pretended to have a heart attack so my baby sister would know when to call 911. When I fell down and started to pretend, she drank my soda instead of helping me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Wow. One on hand, you really should have said "I'm hypoglycemic," instead of just saying that you would faint. But on the other.. Taking juice away on a job test from somebody that claims that they'd faint... She should be getting in trouble for that. Hope you got the job!

Being hypoglycemic sucks. Though it's not just you have to have sweets, you gotta avoid them too. I had frosted flakes one morning then went to softball and nearly fainted from too much sugar. I don't know the specifics of it all but nonetheless, it sucks. FYL

Hypoglycemics should not depend on processed sugar except in an emergency, as those sugars cause your levels to crash right after, thus exacerbating the problem. Those saying to stay away from sugar are partially right, as complex carbs and proteins which stabilize blood sugar throughout the day are the best things to eat for anyone, and particularly people who have blood-sugar problems. The refined sugar in candy is best saved for emergencies when you need sugar quickly. If you live in a place where you need to pay for hospital bills, you should sue the company/proctor. That was insensitive and inappropriate.

Today, I read the comments on this FML and realized how cruel and stupid a large portion of the people I have to share this planet with are. FML. 1) Some people just won't listen to you. It happens. 2) What if OP hadn't passed out and the woman had just voided his test, causing him to lose his job? Who can afford that? 3) Do you know what it's like to be hypoglycemic? 4) Maybe OP couldn't get the woman's attention again. Maybe... a whole lot of things. I hope you all don't hold yourselves to the same ridiculous standards you hold complete strangers to, because if you do, you're probably completely miserable.
