    You might have type 1 diabetes.

    Skipping a meal shouldn’t give you shakes.

      I see you haven’t experienced “doing something with tunnel vision for 16 hours before realising that you’re shaking because you forgot to eat and that your last meal was dinner yesterday around 26 hours ago”. I don’t think you need the beetus to experience that.

        One time I “forgot” to get out of bed, because I was just “one more game” from the moment i woke up. Finally caved to go to the toilet and get some breakfast. 1am.

      You might have type 1 diabetes.

      Skipping a meal shouldn’t give you shakes.

      Or you’re just neurodivergent.

          Exactly. Which is why suggesting that someone shaking from not eating = diabetes is a bullshit opinion.

          Because just because you shake doesn’t mean diabetes. I’m diagnosed ADHD and I get shakes from malnutrition. I’m 100% non-diabetic.

          When I’m at work and haven’t eaten I tend to shake a lot. I basically vibrate. I just had dinner and my just held my hand out in front of me and it’s as still as I’ve ever seen it.

          Almost like mental issues matter just as much as physical issues, but people like you love to discredit it because you don’t think mental illness is a real thing.

            Neurodivergent is cognitive and psychological.

            If you shake from anxiety that’s one thing.

            But getting the shakes from skipping a meal or two is not normal. It means your body is not able to respond appropriately to your system needs. Nothing to do with neurodivergent. It’s a medical situation.

            Tests for diabetes are easy and cheap. Any general doctor can do it.

            People can become diabetic from autoimmune disorders. It’s not based on being healthy. Anyone can get it.

            Untreated diabetes can result in some very serious situations including coma and death. But even less immediate problems from diabetes can long term damage to eyes, increased risk of infection, especially in the legs and feet resulting in gangrene, and a host of other problems.

            When people know their health status they can manage their condition and reduce these risks. Ignoring serious health issues because “I’m neurodivergent” is unwise.

            Adhd doesn’t make you shake from skipping meals either.

            It’s caused from the wrong balance of insulin and sugar glucose in your system. And potentially early signs of ketoacidosis or hypoglycemia.

            It’s very serious.

            Just check with a doctor. As I said it’s a cheap and easy test. It’s not normal to get the shakes from even going without food for days.

            That’s not how our bodies are supposed to work. Shakes are a very serious indicator something is wrong.

            There are other causes that aren’t diabetes but it’s one of the most common and easy to test for.

              That’s a shit ton of words that are bullshit.

              I’m diagnosed depression, GAD, ADHD, and severe Anxiety. I don’t have diabetes and have tested negative for my entire life. I have zero family history with diabetes, wasn’t diabetic in the Army, or any of the recent blood work I’ve needed done less than two years ago.

              Sometimes people are just different from you, and I genuinely think you’re a piece of shit spreading misinformation as openly as you are for people who may not have the diagnostic information as I have and might panic thinking they’re diabetic when they’re just severely anxious or ADHD.

              Your comment is remarkably harmful, and I say with all due respect, fuck you for spreading such fear into people who may not have the same information about themselves as I have. You’re the same kind of asshole who goes onto a thread and says “It might be cancer” for someone who wonders about their abdominal pain.

                Neurodivergent has literally nothing to do with your pancreas.

                Type 1 diabetes is not genetic. It’s caused by a few things but basically the immune systrm has damaged the pancreas from an auto immune reaction at some point.

                Type 2 diabetes is usually caused from being overweight or a combination of genetics and being overweight.

                Educating people allows them to manage their health.

                Ignoring health problems because “I’m different so it’s normal for me” is unwise.

        It might surprise you (pleasantly or horrifically lol) to learn that there’s a large group of people specifically doing one meal a day (referred to as OMAD) as a form of hardcore intermediate fasting.

        That being said, they make sure they get the proper amount of calories/macros in for this (they’re not just eating a slice of bread and butter), so I understand that you’re not referring to this style of eating.

        Still wanted to bring it up though. Wild stuff.

          Sounds like the easiest way to count your calories and macros. Plus saves you time during the day. Is it good for you though?

            It’s yet another type of intermittent fasting. I bet it’s good for some people, but honestly: if you have access to affordable nutritionists: ask one and see if it would be good for your body type.
