It may not go low enough for you to actually faint but can make you feel weak as a kitten. Other symptoms include but are not restricted to:
Short temper
Spots in front of the eyes
Shakiness
Sweating for no obvious reason
An overwhelming desire to complete whatever you are currently doing (seriously, it's weird like that!)
Adrenaline gets released when sugar levels drop and this can prompt the liver to start producing it's own glucose - hence high levels can often follow a really severe low.
None of these symptoms should be taken as a definite indication of low blood sugar in themselves: they have to be backed up by a blood sugar test. Test kits can be obtained from most, if not all, chemists for a really reasonable price. Continually low or high results need inspection by a doctor! Obviously! And if you're at all concerned then see a doctor anyway. The test for dodgy blood sugar levels is so simple these days that no medic can begrudge you!
