A Florida man reportedly got his white chocolate mocha with a little dash of judgment. 

The Huffington Post reported that a St. Augustine man received his cup with "Diabetes Here I Come" written on it. 

Since his two sisters have Type 1 diabetes, he didn't find it funny. 

The grande white chocolate mocha that the customer ordered contains 470 calories and 59 grams of sugar. 

Starbucks apologized for the incident. 

"We strive to provide an inclusive and positive experience for our customers, and were disappointed to learn of this incident," the company said in a statement to the Huffington Post. "We've since connected directly with the customer to apologize for his experience, and with our partners (employees) to ensure this does not happen again." 

The man, who is remaining anonymous, told a Jacksonville TV station that he was offended because of what his sisters have gone through.

“Just the struggles they went through and all the doctor appointments they had,” the customer said.
