Hello,
As you already on antidiabetic, nausea and sweating is because of a hypoglycemic attack. So I will suggest you do a regular blood sugar checkup. Keep sugar always with you for an emergency. You consult with your diabetologist and adjust the dose of metformin. Take care during exercise.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
