I think i need to Congratulate you for maintaining good sugar levels with exercise and minimal dose of metformin. Please keep checking your sugars and HbA1c. If constantly under normal you can try stopping metformin and try controlling sugars only with diet and exercise. Very rarely 1.5hrs of gym can itself tire you out for the whole day. So consult your doc regarding quantum of exercise you require. Banana daily may increase your sugars. 1 small banana on alternate days is fine.
Hope i have answered your query.
