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

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
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!

A diabetic's advice: Go to: http://www.mercola.com and enter the following topics: "nutritional type", "diabetes", "leptin", & "insulin". A 20 question test for those who don't want the book via Mercola.com is at: http://www.naturalhealthcoach.com/tools/ Basically, you may well have become reliant on the "quick fix" from the sugars in juice, when a much healthier approach would be to eat more in accordance with your nutritional type.

I'm hypoglycemic myself. Instead of sipping juice, you could pop in a glucose tablet... they're readily available at walgreens and CVS... makes it a bit faster, and they taste decent. Or I find if I'm going to be a few hours and I haven't eaten in a while, before I go in someplace, nutrigrain bars tend to work out pretty well. Eat or 2 before you go in.

#173- If I'm to the point where I feel like I'll pass out, I need sugar NOW, not "over time".

She Took Your Juice. That's called Stealing, and I would have called the police. And also mentioned that you needed the juice due to a medical condition so, please bring the ambulance just in case something happens between the call and the arrival. Contact a lawyer (or the EEOC office in your area if you want to go government-mediation), and HR. I'm sure they'll settle. No one wants to be the company that caused someone to pass out for refusing them a simple thing like JUICE. What would they have done if you were hyper-allergic? Taken away your eppy-pen?
