Quick question about low blood sugar?

how quickly can your blood sugar drop from fasting? and also can low blood sugar cause seizures? i heard it can, but isn't that only if it's dangerously low?

How fast it drops depends on MANY factors. Are you otherwise healthy, i.e., are you NOT a diabetic? Have you been exercising? Are you stressed? As you see there are many variables which makes that part of the question hard to answer.

As to seizures, yes, VERY low blood sugar can cause seizures...but we're talking REALLY low.

you can go in a coma and die

Fasting can actually cause your body to start churning out stored glucose and raise your bg.

If you need to bring down your bg quickly, hop on a treadmill.

Yes, sometimes it can get dangerously low from fasting, and yes, it DEFINITELY causes seizures!
