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.

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.
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 and ADHD.

Neurodivergent has literally nothing to do with your pancreas.
Type 1 diabetes is not genetic. It’s caused by a few things but basically your body has damaged your 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.
