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, 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 went out to eat to celebrate getting over the stomach flu. I hadn't eaten solid food in over a week, so I was really excited and ordered my favorite dish. It gave me food poisoning. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Has to be fake, There is a definite distinguishable taste between diet and regular coke, even in france as i have been there. As a diabetic myself i would have taken more insulin. Stop being a little spineless bastard. oh wait you're from france nevermind.

never has anything that extreme happened to me. i'm a diabetic as well. but i happen to agree that i can really tell when a drink isn't diet. tastes too syrupy. (i was diagnosed when i was 4 and my grandpa has diabetes so i've only grown up on diet sodas)

As a diabetic, you should be able to tell the difference between diet and regular soda. Retard.

No. He would not get sick from an initial sip it takes to realize it's regular. I'm a diabetic & one sip is not going to raise his blood sugar. & even if he drank the whole cup he should have taken insulin right after and then he wouldn't have been sick. That's why this is either made up or he just doesn't take the proper care of himself. The people that are diabetic are the ones that are saying these things because we know from our own personal experiences. The people standing up for him do not have the disease and therefore have no clue about what we're talking about when we say he should have known or if he hadn't he should have just taken proper medication. This could have easily been fixed. I've been served regular soda on a few occasions and i've never been "sick for hours." He wasn't taking care of himself and therefore he deserves what happened to him. Mistakes happen. People need to learn how to adjust.

sals029 - some people have very unstable diabetes. I have a friend like that (in her early 60s now) and you can't just give her a shot of insulin/ a bit of sugar to get her out of a hypo or hyper. It can take hours to pull her out of it. Usually her problem is that she hasn't eaten enough or it's too hot (we live in a very hot, humid, tropical place and it played havoc with her diabetes til they got air-conditioning about 6 or 7 years ago) and she won't suddenly get better after having some food, it takes a long time. Just coz I don't have diabetes doesn't mean I know nothing about it. Yes most people should be able to manage their diabetes better than this but some people are just so sick it is not that simple.

Obviously your handle on English grammar is much better.

There's plenty of fast food places where they fill your drink for you 'cause they don't want people getting free refills and they don't want people bringing in their own cups and abusing the soda fountain. So that is not a very good reason to call this fake. Also, this is a very good thing for a lawsuit, you just need the camera footage of the employee filling the cup with regular soda and proof that you're diabetic.

You don't have to be so mean about it. I love the French too, but it doesn't mean you have to insult them and call their FML fake. Also some people can't taste the difference, especially diabetics. It's like how some people can taste the difference between Pepsi and Coca Cola, while others can't.

all of you saying 'ooh YDI for not being able to tell the differnce and shit' fast food chains use post mix drinks and if he hasnt had diet coke/ coke for awhile, he may not have been able to tell the difference

Not everyone is saying the OP deserves it for that simple reason. It's also for the reason that he's diabetic and most people who are diabetic are very careful about how they treat themselves. If he was reckless with his condition then he/she does deserve it.
