No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

The account is sus, as is tradition in this community, but I'm going to pretend I did not see that.

Stop hurting yourself. More protein, less starches and sugar.
You fasted for half a day, and then ate shit food of no substance. Eat something that has nutrients in it, eat more calories, and if need be, shorten the gap between meals.
Do you often go for 13 hours without food?
Yes
This is really a conversation you should have with a doctor, and not randos on the internet.
But there’s a few things- you seem to have had a massive carb load (the fried rice), which can make you drowsy (even if the rice is a low glycemic carb, enough is still going to spike your blood sugar.)
Your body then responds by producing insulin, which reduces blood sugars, if blood sugar shot up quickly, the body works to bring it back into balance quickly.
Which, 13 hours later led to low blood sugar and wanting to eat something.
The reason you need to talk with a doctor is because none of us are going to adequately diagnose anything wrong (and it could be more than a potential for diabetes or being prediabetic.)
With your mention of your father that is a risk factor so it might be a good idea to check anyhow.
The dizziness is an indication of low blood sugars, by the way. Which a can of soda is a frequent form of first-care.
13+ hours is a long time to go without some kind of food intake (or drinks.), though, so you may want to take a look at your eating habits if it’s a regular occurrence and doctors don’t see anything alarming.
It's not every day, but I would say it's every other day, despite my eating habits being stable. I've booked an appointment though, just to be on the safe side.

I think you might be an idiot
There are various tests for pre-diabetes, such as the homa-ir or the hba1c assay. You could ask your physician to see if they can help you with that.
