[fast5] Re: Working Out

I am about 6 weeks into fast-5 and your email was at the perfect time for me. I also am a borderline Type 2 diabetic, on metformin x 5 years, doing paleo for about 13 weeks. Recently I have been trying to increase the protein and veggies and reduce the amount of dried fruit and nuts I eat. (My main souce of carbs.) Monday I worked a night shift and at 5:30 am I was helping in a procedure and started to pass out. I managed to sit in a chair and call out on my cell phone, and get someone in to help so I could get out of the room. Almost vomitted before I got out of the room. I couldn't figure out what my issue was! I have helped w/ this procedure 1000 times. I wonder if my bloodsugar is the issue.
Then this morning my fasting was 73 - I'm usually 88-95. I was all happy, then 2 hours later I was STARVING. Ate a lot, then started eating cookies and tapioca pudding. Had no self-control. I can't test my sugar now, but I finally feel okay again. (After a carb heavy lunch.) I have struggled w/ reactive hypoglycemia, and I have loved how I no longer feel this way now that I am lower carb. I wonder if I need my metformin dose reduced...
