I'm glad you are ok and didn't come to any harm. Over the past two months your blood glucose levels have probably been dropping. Have you checked with a glucometer?
If not, and you have a glucometer, you may want to check in the morning so you can tell your doctor what it's running with the metformin dose you're on.
You may not need the metformin any more, and the combination of metformin + Fast-5 + exercise was possibly enough to lower your blood glucose too far -- a state of hypoglycemia. Nausea and fainting aren't the most common symptoms of hypoglycemia, but I wouldn't rule it out. Metformin interferes with your liver's ability to release glucose for your body. If you have had any recent illness, that could also be a contributing factor.
From your experience, you can see why Fast-5 is not recommended for those with diabetes or any other chronic illness without a doctor's supervision. It's the "first, do no harm" approach, and there are things that go wrong.
Please let us know what you find out regarding your blood glucose level and what you (with your doctor's advice) plan to do.
Best wishes,

I feel so good I've been going to the gym quite more often lately. This morning I decided to go in for my complimentery personal training session. We got about 10 minutes into the workout then I felt nauseous and then fainted. I came to right away but I felt so awful I wanted to faint again. The trainer got me a bottle of gatorade and I felt much better after a few minutes. His first question was if I had breakfast which of course I didn't. I really don't want to change my 5 hr window to the morning before a workout, but if I workout in the evening before bed I'll be so restless I won't sleep. I'm sure once I start thinking more clearly I'll find a solution. Just wonder how you all deal with it.
