Health: Today, I took a test as part of a job requirement. I took a sip...

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, 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

Pissed

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

Mismanaged

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

Today, I went to the doctor for a routine check-up. When the nurse took my blood pressure, I passed out, and fell off the table. FML

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!

In America, this is what we sue the living daylights out of people for all the time. I know not every country is as litigious, but still...time to lawyer up.

Damn. What a bitch. Though you should have told you're hypoglycemic.

God, that sucks. That woman needs to be fired, punched in the face, and possibly hit with a car. People are morons. It took me practically having a seizure in class and being unable to speak to explain that I needed to go to the nurse for my chorus teacher to realize that - what a surprise! - people who appear perfectly healthy can have really screwed up blood sugar levels. I don't technically have diabetes, but my blood sugar gets out of control really easily.

I know the feeling. I have renal issues, and in high school I got yelled at for having drinks in class. I was on heavy diuretics at the time and frequently became dehydrated because my body couldn't properly purge the 90+lbs of water I was retaining as fast as the meds tried to. Tell the next person that does that to **** right off. I generally do when someone challenges something I need for my health.

wow, how irresponsible of that women. I'm a type 1 diabetic and I always get crap about having drinks or whatever to get my blood sugar up. So I defiantly know where your coming from.
