You can loose consciousness from hypoglycemia, but normally the body will do everything it can, even autophaging your heart muscle proteins to bring it back up. Unless you have been fasting for a really long time, it will just release glucose from glycogen reserves and you recover quickly. The diabetic coma thing is the opposite spectrum when the blood sugar is extremely high but the cell metabolism has to run on ketogenic fuel because it gets no glucose. Which leads to ketoacidosis, which can ultimately lead to a coma. |
