Generally, no... but when I make diet changes like you have I have to recalculate my insulin needs, and that can lead to a few days or so of hypos / hyper readings. Personally I prefer the hypos (means I can munch on '****' without worrying, and I hate hate HATE the idea of running high and causing damage).

Do you use a carb-to-insulin ratio or are you on strict orders to have however-many units per meal? Have you adjusted for your diet changes?

Might be an idea to lose the metformin, but only if that's where the issue lies... if the met is helpful to you, then it might be easier to have a bit less of one of your insulins.

I definitely agree with BlueSky about the exercise - get all you can, any time you can, coz the difference it makes is worth it. Even just for the feel-good factor!
