Is it normal that you feel very shaky as soon as you start to get hungry?

  Well, ideally you should start feeling hungry quite some time before experiencing hypoglycemia.

      Was it? Apologies. It’s getting mighty hard to tell. Feel free to provide a better alternative.

  I get that from time to time, but usually I’m hungry for a while first, unless I was distracted and it all hits at once. Then I’m ravenous, shaky, hot (and probably sweaty), and it’s all I’m thinking about.

  Diabetes? #NotADoctor

    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.

    Also not a doctor but glucometers can be cheap, not that scary, and answer exactly this question.

  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.

  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.

  Either that or a headache.
