No, because the amount of insulin you need at any given time of day varies. It may peak or dip with time of day, amount of activity, what and when you eat. Blood glucose levels need to be monitored several times daily to see whether you need to take insulin or whether you need to eat to maintain your levels.

What controls when a hormone is secreted?

There is no single answer to this question, but one common aspect is that most hormone release is in somehow regulated by a negative feedback system. For example a hormone produces an effect that in turn inhibits the same hormone's release. There are also positive feedback loops as in the rise of glucose acting to increase insulin release which then lowers glucose levels.
