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, 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 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

Today, I was working the drive-thru at McDonalds, and as I handed out a Diet coke to the customer, the man started growling and yelled "HULK SMASH!" He smashed the cup with two fists and drove off. I was drenched in soda. FML

If your blood sugars are so out of wack you can't drink a regular coke you need to not even be drinking fast food. Diabetes 101.

Actually I'm a diabetic as well (and have been for eight years now) and you can eat or drink ANYTHING as long as you take insulin. Although, I am curious as to why the OP didn't realize it wasn't diet, I can tell right away....

Yes you can eat everything as long as you take insulin, but as your doctor might have told you, it's better to eat carefully and take less insulin, since it's two extremes that **** up your body !

I'm diabetic as well and when that happens I hate it. Once, as a joke, I said 'I should sue' to my family. The waiter heard me and immediately brought me a free drink at a restaurant that usually charges for drinks. Epic win.

im also a diabetic and if you live in canada, or at least in all the cities close to were i live (toronto) you have to watch out for the drink because instead of giving you diet pop the give you regular pop diluted with water. Just some advise but just t be on the safeside i would order regular pop and take insulin for it. At least you know what your getting.

My little brother is diabetic and i have to double check with the waiters and waitresses to make sure it's diet. But, you can still sue the bastards and get a hell of a lot of money.
