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!

Am i the only one who can't see the reason why one was not allowed to drink juice while taking a test?

#42- What difference does it make if your employee has to take sips of juice? If it's an office job (which it seems like it is because there's a test) then what's wrong with having a drink on your desk? And to all the people claiming fake because they have the same condition- could it be possible that maybe this person has a greater glucose deficiency than you? It's not like every medical problem pops up in the same way.

Yeah I'd definitely sue them. Health issues are not a laughing matter, there needs to be consequences for this kind of behavior.

#80, hypoglycemia is actually a chronic condition; your liver is pretty good at maintaining your blood glucose levels even when you run out of glycogen, so people who have not eaten in a while are not hypoglycemic. And extreme hypoglycemia is not a symptom of diabetes; diabetes actually causes hyperglycemia, while excess insulin (which has been taken to combat the hyperglycemia) can cause hypoglycemia.

I don't think they give out bracelets for hypoglycemia because anyone has the potential to be in a state of hypoglycemia. Basically its your body in a state of low blood sugar. That can happen to anyone if they havent eaten properly. If you are at a point where you need to eat/drink something consistently than perhaps you have something more serious like diabetes where your body isn't properly managing your suger levels. And for that you can get a medical bracelet and im sure if you told someone you are diabetic it would be taken more seriously.

what is it with people's inability to believe someone? a friend of mine went to give blood and told the nurses he gets very squeamy about the sight of blood, but they wouldn't let him sit down, so as soon as they stuck him he passed out and smashed his face into the ground.
