If someone can make it so it doesn't feel like I can no longer think or move any muscles or start sweating if I go more than about 3 hours without eating, then I'm on board! Also hunger pangs. Please no.

You are describing hypoglycemia. Are you often thirsty, tired, hangry? Pee a lot at night?

If so, it might be a good idea to go and check your blood sugar.

Yeah unfortunately I’ve had these symptoms throughout my life, have been regularly checked for diabetes but no dice. My dad has type 1 so we recognised my symptoms, but apparently it isn’t diabetes.

I hope its manageable! Glad to hear that it isn't diabetes at least.

Wife is T1, so whenever I hear people describe hyper/hypoglycemia I can't help but to ask.

Appreciate your concern! :) Apparently hypoglycemia without diabetes is a thing (you prompted me to google), so I've ordered a blood sugar monitor and I'll do tracking for a week or two with a fast.
