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

why were you even eating fast food to begin with? youre a diabetic. you shouldn't be putting that in your body anyway

... Why didn't you take insulin? If you're eating you must always take insulin. I've had Diabetes for 8 years. My bloodsugar have never gone super-uber high because of soda, even when I didn't take insulin.

#67 there's something called "outside USA". You should try... (for information, in Europe fast-food restaurants fill drinks for you, in any country. And OP posts from France... For health's sake, bad habit don't cross the ocean too easily)

if ur diabetes was so bad,why would u want to risk on a simple fast food outlet?

my brother is diabetic and i used to order coke when he ordered diet coke. i always tested them because i knew distincly what was diet coke and just normal coke. poor diabetics... diet cokes tastes so foul...

Stupid. I've been type-1 diabetic for 17 years and I've always known the difference. There is no possibility of a lawsuit because they'll say "we didn't force it down your throat did we?" If your diabetes is so out of control that you get that sick from a single regular soda, then maybe you should pay a little more attention to your A1C and not be eating out. And yeah, you would have done insulin for eating anyway. Your fault for getting sick. And like #71 said, your blood sugar wouldn't have gone high enough to put you out of commision from a soda without insulin.

actually people win lawsuits over much stupider things... this is a far more legitimate case than a lot of other ones that go through the courts.
