Need more info: Are you a diabetic on medication? It you do not have diabetes, your blood sugar is regulated by a number of hormone systems to keep it in the normal range regardless of whether you are fasting or eating. People who starve do not die of hypoglycemia. If you are medication for diabetes that causes release of insulin, then you have the potential for low sugars to occur.
