Lantus is a long acting insulin. It works for 20-24 hrs. Anyways since you have already taken lantus instead of humalog, you can still take humalog but make sure to monitor your sugars as there can be possibility of hypoglycemia later on which you need to be aware of & avoid it by taking good at that point of time.

Hi There are many Diabetic oral medications that can be started for you but certain patient details like BMI, Recent blood tests are required to decide on that. However stopping insulin all of a sudden is not recommended, we can taper the insulin dose slowly and then stop it depending on your diabetes control.
