Today, I passed out when my blood sugar dropped. Three times. And each time, my roommate, who was right next to me, just let me fall because he liked the way my face looked. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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
Today, I found my boyfriend passed out on the floor. Then I passed out, due to anxiety of seeing him passed out. FML
Today, I took a shower and right after I fell asleep on my bed wrapped in my towel. I awoke to find my dad slapping me in the face. He thought I had fainted because I'm a diabetic. FML
Today, I was sitting in the cafeteria with my friends when I suddenly passed out due to my hypoglycemia. When I woke up, I discovered that I was still in the same spot and my friends had abandoned me to go to class. Also, my stuff was stolen. FML
Today, on the bus, my blood sugar level got too low and I passed out. When I came to, the woman next to me was hitting me, saying she needed to get off and that she didn't have time for my, "stupid fucking prank." 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 took a friend home from the hospital. She was on medication that made her drowsy. She fell onto her bed and asked me to help her take off some clothes since she had her winter gear on. She passes out and her roommate walks in and catches me undressing an unconscious girl. 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, I had a low blood sugar attack and almost passed out during class while over Zoom, which my professor then decided to bring attention to by calling me out for "sighing" about the research paper. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Did your butt hurt each time you woke up?

Damn OP, you need to keep a Blood sugar monitor nearby to prevent future incidents. Maybe you can keep it in a black pouch that looks like a change purse.

wait, youve allowed your blood sugar to drop so low you passed out...three times...and yet its his problem? i think if youve got issues like this you might want to consider being prepared for them. seriously, who allows themselves to get into a situation like this?

I can't feel when my blood sugar drops that low until it's too late. I only feel woozy or dizzy/lightheaded when I have very little time left to get food.

many people don't feel this drop until it is too late especially as you get older of corse he had a monitor around he had no time to use it people who are uneducated about diabetes really shouldn't make comments

#62 Me too! I usually have very little "warning" time to get myself some food to prevent passing out. :P #68 It's not necessarily diabetes...

Steff and nerds are right on. Big surprise. ;)

please note my emphasis on the number of times it occurred without any attempt to resolve the issue.

Diabetes is not that melodramatic. Responsible patients continually monitor their sugar before and after meals, making sure that if they go too long between meals they have glucose tablets handy. OP gives responsible diabetics a bad name and the public a reason to decline driver's licenses to them. All assuming OP is diabetic, but it really applies to whatever he/she is.

99: Obviously OP should've done something after the first time. Maybe he did. Even if OP is diabetic, not all diabetics can control their blood sugar all the time. In Type 1 cases, if the pancreas is still dying, unexpected spikes and drops can happen very quickly.

92 - OP didn't state how much time was in between each of the pass-outs. It's possible OP corrected the problem the first time (in the morning, for example) only to have the same thing happen in the afternoon and evening. The post doesn't necessarily mean OP had it happen 3 times in an hour, for example.

@115 so why should the room mate care if this person is making no attempt to correct the issue themselves? is it not worse if it happens several times in a day? the room mate is not their mother, ready to drop everything because this person doesnt take care of themself. id be more annoyed if i were them and it happened several times in a day than an hour, cos then theyve messed it up 3 times in a 24 hour period so you know the next months or years are going to go much the same.

I can't believe you would actually write that, when a person's blood sugar levels are low it is life threatening and you say that it made your day that the other person ignored it!

You roommate obviously has some new blood sugar level fetish. I would strongly consider switching roommates if possible.

Op you do realize if you're blood glucose drops below a certain level, you will not wake up by yourself?! Go eat something and stop being ignorant.

You're the one feeling the effects. If you don't have time to sit your ass down first so you don't fall, how do you expect he has time to catch you before you fall? Try some common sense. And 3 times in 1 day. How about you help yourself and do something about it?
