You might have type 1 diabetes.
Skipping a meal shouldn’t give you shakes.

It does if you only have one (1) meal a day.

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?
forkDestroyer@infosec.pub 3 weeks ago
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.

Or you’re just neurodivergent.
daannii@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
That’s not how that works.
PhoenixDog@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Exactly. Which is why suggesting that someone shaking from not eating = diabetes is a bullshit opinion.

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. diabetes.org/living-with-diabetes/dka
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.

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.
