No: It's dangerous to use Insulin without monitoring, especially with NovoLog which can work very quickly. There are many options available but only your doctor would know what's best for you. It's about overall control and not just individual blood sugar numbers.

No: You should not start using a new prescription medication without consulting your doctor, you need to have your own Insulin dose prescribed. This needs to be calculated depending on your blood sugar readings. It can be dangerous if you use the wrong amount.
