Can your blood sugar level drop below 70 within 13-16 hours?

Just wondering because I am doing a research paper and it's hard to find that information and I'm confused people it says that when your blood sugar drops too low, you can have seizures. But there are people that go on fasts and are fine...

    Sure, blood sugar can drop below 70 within 13-16 hours. If you want really good information go to the American Diabetic Association and your will get the what you need for your paper.

    Only a person with diabetes will have a blood sugar fluctuation like this. Normally a healthy person can maintain a reasonable blood sugar level on a fast by pulling from stored fats and sugars. Keep in mind too long with out water or food and anyone will die.
