I’m gonna tell you what nobody here has yet:
Go see a doctor
Your symptoms could possibly indicate a serious condition, and that’s something you need to take care of. Soon.
Diabetes? #NotADoctor
Also not a doctor but glucometers can be cheap, not that scary, and answer exactly this question.
As far as I’m aware, diabetes will lead to hyperglycemia, not hypo. Taking insulin for diabetes in excess of what’s needed or not eating enough while on insulin will lead to hypoglycemia.It appears this information is incorrect.
Diabetics can have low blood sugar.
Basically, the body isn’t processing food the way it’s supposed to, so all sorts of problems can develop.
Also, there are other conditions that can cause low blood sugar.
My wife does and she has ME/CFS - I’ll get it if I’m REALLY hungry, tired and anxious but usually it needs to be the combination of the three for me.
Me too, also CFS. It’s a real nuisance, because I need to lose weight but being hungry is awful.
Have you ever been checked for autism or adhd? Common symptoms for me include that im not in tune with my bodys “hunger” meter. I often forget to eat or dont eat enough, and as such the first real sign of hunger i get is when i start getting dizzy and it becomes hard to move. Could also be from not having enough food growing up, so my body stopped producing the “hungry” signal.
FYI autism diagnosis usually makes it much more difficult to emigrate if you ever decide to so its not exactly a good thing to get a diagnosis.
But no, I never went spcifically for such a check.
I dont know the laws in your country, but here doctors cant share any info on their patient without consent. I dont know if that would extend to a disagnosis like that, but the idea is that you ask your doctor if they think you are, and then you proceed according to their advice WITHOUT GETTING THE DIAGNOSIS. It would be massively beneficial for you to know yourself, as unchecked both of those can wreck your quality of life if youre not actively looking into coping mechanisms.
Do you feel unexplainably different from your peers? Like everyone else understands some fact of life that you are completely unaware of? Have you had any issues dating? None of that is a guaranteed diagnosis, but if those questions particularly resonate with you or you feel called out then its worth looking into.
Do you feel unexplainably different from your peers?
I mean, I’m Asian in white-majority country so that’s the major difference lol. But other than that, I don’t think so.
Like everyone else understands some fact of life that you are completely unaware of?
Like what for example?
Have you had any issues dating?
I never had the urge to date, perhaps kinda asexual/aromantic
Usually in immigration, how it works is YOU HAVE TO TELL THE TRUTH ABOUT EVERYTHING. So if they ask: “have you ever been diagnosed with any mental illnesses?” (I’m not saying that they do ask, but if they ask), you have to legally disclose it. If they found out you lied, they could revoke everything and deport you
Also btw you know about all the so-called “privacy” stuff? Privacy doesn’t really exist when it comes to immigrarion.
Guess what, USCIS can see all medical records, every sealed/expunged criminal records, even juvenile records, even pardoned/overturned cases, and make a decision based on that. I’m assuming this is similar in other countries.
Go see a doctor. As others have pointed out you may be diabetic (including more bizarre variations) or have other issues.
“get hungry”
It sounds like you might be using the wrong hunger cues. If you’re waiting for stomach aches, you’re already past hungry.
Either that or a headache.
Can happen, especially if exercising a lot.
I do the shaky thing too, but I think it is just psychological tbh. At calorie crash levels of no blood sugar during extreme endurance sports, it is totally different. It is like someone straps lead weights all over your body. Everything feels heavy and nearly impossible to move.
There is probably some kind of dynamic regarding different types of sugar in the system that cause the shakiness.
Your brain ONLY works on sugars. So calorie crashing, like hitting the wall, is when your body has to start cannibalizing your own muscles for sugar to fuel the brain. I’ve never been anywhere near that level except on a bike after 4+ hours and 60+ miles. You feel like a puddle, and joints are like bending copper wire. There is no shakiness in that state.
No
Yes, almost always
