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

Wow that really sucks... My dad is diabetic as well, and my mom has some problems with her kidneys, which means she can't drink diet soda. A waiter at a restaurant once swapped their drinks, they were both sick afterwards. It was a pain in the ass for all three of us

I can kind of sympathise with you on this. I have to have soy milk in my lattes and such because I'm lactose intolerant. On more than one occasion I've ended up sick because they put regular milk in. FYL OP, and hope it doesn't happen again!

Okay so if you claim to be "diabetic" why are eating at a fast food restaurant when the food isn't healthy in the first place. fast food is greasy, fat, and processed. people who are diabetic have to be cautious about what they eat and fast food is never the answer for diabetic or not

So lots of people are diabetic and not all of them are on strict diet to lose weight, there are type types of diabetes. Type one is juvenile diabetes that you get usually before you're 18 and that is an autoimmune disease and has nothing to do with what you eat. The other type is type two and it is cause by the body not being able to create enough insulin for the person's size. So often with diet and exercise that type will go away completely. Every diabetic I know goes to a doctor every three months so they do not need you or anyone else telling them what to eat or how to live their life.
