hi thanks for using Healthcaremagic
Lantus insulin contains Glargine which is a 24 hour acting basal insulin.It is superior to NPH due to its longer duration of action
Sugar control will be better with Lantus
Regarding your uneasiness I suggest to monitor your blood sugar values at different times.
By doing this we can titrate the insulin doses.
I find this answer helpful
