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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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!

People can't help being hypoglycemic, asshole. And you fail for replying to the first person just to get on top.

#'s 1 & 2 obviously haven't the slightest idea why hypoglycemia is and probably should have kept their mouths shut on this one. Sorry that happened OP, bitch her out for it when you find her.

She might have said she is, but just worded it different on FML. I don't think she said "Don't take that, I'll faint!"

Hypoglycemic or not, it does sound a bit odd to forbid drinks such as juice while doing any test....

People have probably written answers on bottles they bring before. It's an understandable restriction, but in this case it could have been ignored.

what a bitch : / did you have a medic alert bracelet or anything as proof?
evildemonchild 18
Medic Alert bracelet? O.o they use that Yes I'm serious cause I never once see someone wear one [expect for tv]
JamieLT 22
My brother has one

They're pretty expensive

Expensive? Not really; I have several that vary in cost between $3 and $25. You don't need to buy a gold plated medical bracelet or necklace. There are plenty of cheaper options out there.

#5, being hypoglycemic isn't one of those things that you get a bracelet for, usually because you can manage it by eating/drinking.

it depends on the type of diabetes. type 2 diabetes is usually managed by diet, exercise, and sometimes a pill. people with type 1 diabetes, however, experience blood glucose levels that fluxuate much easier, and most are advised to wear something like a medic alert bracelet. my mom and uncle both have type 1 diabetes and they both wear medic alert bracelets.

You don't have to be diabetic to be hypoglycemic...

Why didn't you tell her sometime in the 15 minutes before you collapsed that you're hypoglycemic? You deserved it, well and truly.

Why didn't you get more likes in the 5 years that passed? Your comment deserves to be disliked well and truly

AGAIN with these "I fainted", "got a concussion" "got knocked out" "collapsed" stories, **** people. If it's true, then wow that sucks. But if not, the mods need to get better stories.
