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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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!

I worked with someone who would suddenly stand up in meetings and say "I have to go and eat something or I'll collapse". It was easier for him because he was the boss :-). He couldn't understand how I could only have one meal a day (dinner), likewise drink nothing until evening, and still function!

36-normally I'd want to agree with you that people should just trust when it comes to personal issues, but the reality is that so many people fake things that if you're not careful you'll just get played every time. and 79-you are aware that there are other blood sugar related issues that AREN'T diabetes? i don't have one but...jeeze i've been to a biology class... people are so uneducated

To all the people who are asking why you can't drink juice in a test, it's because sometimes cheaters will write answers, clues, or formulas on the inside of the paper that wraps around the bottle and then stick it back down. Then when they are drinking, they can peer into the bottle and see the answers. It was such a problem in my bio class in high school that bottles during tests were banned.

To all those saying the OP should've just said they're hypoglycemic, the OP could've been thinking that the woman didn't know what hypoglycemia was. Personally I didn't until I read the FML & realized that's what my friend has. (She never called it hypoglycemia, she always just said she had really low blood sugar and would faint without eating or drinking sugary things in class). I do think the woman should take responsibility for this, although I don't think there should be a lawsuit. I know that many people will lie and try to get away with things, so I understand why the woman might have thought she was faking (although that is a bitch move), but the OP did say that they would faint without it, and instead of just taking the juice away, the woman HID it.

you should walk back in there with a gallon of juice and hit her in the head with it...maybe she will understand it then
