No: Lantus acts smoothly over 24h. You should instead see your dr or nurse about adjusting and or adding in mealtime short acting insulin. Take your sugar readings with you

No: Lantus is a depot like insulin preparation and will provide a baseline level of insulin over the night and into the day. It will not reduce glucose immediately.
