Low blood sugar can be quite serious. It is a common complication faced by diabetics. Symptoms of low blood sugar can be flushing, sweating, weakness, confusion, and unconsciousness. It must be treated immediately to avoid the potential of death. Treatment can be affected by the consumption of glucose gels or tabs, or something as simple as drinking 8 ounces of milk, juice, sugared soft drink, or any beverage containing sugar.

Your blood sugar will become low once you are fasting, and when that happens the alpha cells of the islets of Langerhans will allow glucogen to be release.
