Health: Today, I took a test as part of a job requirement. I took a sip...

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, 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 had to take a drug test for a new job. I ended up spilling the cup of pee 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

Today, I went to the doctor for a routine check-up. When the nurse took my blood pressure, I passed out, and fell off the table. FML

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 guess you should carry around a medical report or something that proves that you are hypoglycemic =/

No intelligent person will mention their health problems prior to being offered a job. If she were taking a test, she hasn't secured a position with the company, or at least not a position past the "fire at will" stage that many states have - ie in PA your employer can fire you at any time for no reason at all, so often just mentioning you have a health problem, is enough for you to be fired within a week because they "have too many employees" or "restructuring." She probably didn't tell she had hypoglycemia beforehand because she was intelligent enough to know she was trying to get a job

I'm hypoglycemic too. Why don't you just carry like granola bars with you? Drinking Juice all day will just make it worse. You should only do that when your about to faint. Drinking juice all day will just make your blood sugar levels jump up and down. Spend some more time with your doctor, and figure out what is best for you.

To everyone who thinks the OP should have had a "doctor's note" describing his/her condition, I first learned that I was hypoglycemic ten years ago, and I've made a habit of carrying around granola bars etc ever since. It's been mentioned multiple times that they don't make medical bracelets for hypoglycemia (because usually people can handle it themselves) but I know there's no way I'm going to carry around a ten (or more)-year-old doctor's note because some stupid person wouldn't allow me to take care of myself. I wouldn't sue, but her reputation and/or career wouldn't go unscathed.

#15: wrong. just wrong. that's gotta be at least something you should report to corporate if you don't seek legal action. hypoglycemia, when left untreated, can lead to other serious health problems.
