I'd venture to guess that by the time it runs out of blood glucose levels, insulin will fall to allow burning of fat.
Has anyone ever fainted from fasting while weighting a ton?

You mean... "muh sugahs"? x) I could imagine them fainting during a (purely hypothetical) fast, it's a form of stress they're not used to - as bullshitty as that sounds in that case.
I guess they experience the biological equivalent of integer overflow. As soon as their blood glucose level rises over 256 (512? What's the world record for sugahs?), their body treats it as 0, thus no sugahs left in the blood.

Info is just starting to come out that the longer it has been since you have eaten the MORE efficient your body gets at accessing fat stores. I fast for 8 to 16 hours all the time lately (pretty much by addiction) and the worst you have to deal with is passing hunger pains/pangs
