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.
