Blood Sugar Fluctuated, Very High Since Stopped Lantus. Will It Be A Problem To Switch Back To Lantus From HUMILIN N?

I have used Lantus for 3 years prior to having a heart attack 3 weeks ago. The hospitalist took me off Lantus and put me on Humilin N. My blood sugar has fluctuated and been very high since I stopped the Lantus. Will it be aproblem to switch back to Lantus and not use the HUMILIN N?
