I believe this is due to taking too high a dose which ends up causing the spike. It’s happened to me and I learned about it on another website. Try lowering your dose and see...

As Zoelula commented, Novolin (regular) is a medication that has been outdated. That is not to state that it is wrong to prescribe it, but it suggests that your physician may not be up-to-date on the latest diabetic protocols.
I can see no reason to have discontinued the Lantus. Your blood sugar should not have spiked because of the Lantus.
As stated, Lantus alone is not sufficient to control blood sugar.
Zoeluls'a suggestion to see an enchronologist is sconded.
I don't know why your blood sugar is spiking after insulin-are you eating during that time?
What I do know is that novolin (Regular) is a very outdated mode of insulin. The Lantus you were on was a newer basal (long-acting) insulin, but wouldn't work as well unless it was combined with a bolus (fast-acting) insulin before meals. That is the standard of care. I would see an endocrinologist and get on appropriate insulin regimen because 150-300 is much too high to sustain blood sugars.
