So basically you had a lunch with very few carbs, fasted for 5 and a half hours, then you tried to exercise on a trainer. You were hypoglycemic before you even got on the trainer. Here's some basic information on hypoglycemia.

If you're going to exercise in the afternoon, you should eat something around 3 hours beforehand. Since you're on a low carb diet, your glycogen stores are probably always low. This makes you more suceptible to hypoglycemia.
