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!

Disagree regarding enjoying hypos more than hypers...but I completely agree about enjoying the cure! Less so now, but I used to try to pick most enjoyable glucose source possible. You might as well get some kind of illicit pleasure out of this frickin disease.
