For Patients Uncontrolled on Multiple Daily Injections (MDI) of Insulin

Patient with V-Go on her arm

V-Go® is designed to provide basal-prandial control.

  • With multiple daily injections, patients typically give themselves a basal injection followed by up to 3 more prandial injections. This can result in up to 4 injections a day.
  • V-Go can help control blood sugar over 24 hours with just 1 application and 1 insulin1.
  • V-Go uses 1 small needle that the patient never sees.
  • All mealtime insulin doses are delivered by the patient throughout the day with just a push of a button.

Patients who may not be appropriate for V-Go

Patients who have to make regular adjustments or modifications to their basal rate during a 24-hour period, or whose amount of insulin used at meals requires adjustments of less than 2-Unit increments, should not use V-Go as it may result in hypoglycemia.

They now have the freedom to go with V-Go

“When I have V-Go on, I truly forget that it’s there.” —Debbie

Debbie was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes in her early 30s. She couldn’t get her blood sugar under control and was frustrated with taking insulin shots in the middle of the day. When her doctor told her about V-Go, she was excited to learn there is a simpler and more convenient way to get her insulin that doesn’t slow her down. And by switching from multiple insulin shots to V-Go, she was able to significantly lower her A1c to 6.9*.

 

“Wearing V-Go is like wearing a watch. I really don’t know that it’s there until I need to reach for it.” —Jim

Jim has type 2 diabetes but he won’t let it get in the way of his passion to serve his community. When Jim was taking multiple insulin shots each day, it was difficult for him to inject discreetly or even remember to bring along his pens and needles when visiting those who are homebound. Using V-Go gives him a sense of independence because he doesn’t have to worry since his insulin is always with him. Most importantly, with the help of V-Go, he was able to bring his A1c down to 7.0*. Jim wants to do whatever he can to be healthy, and V-Go is a part of that process.

*Individual results may vary.

Important Risk Information

If regular adjustments or modifications to the basal rate of insulin are required in a 24-hour period, or if the amount of insulin used at meals requires adjustments of less than 2-Unit increments, use of the V-Go Wearable Insulin Delivery Device may result in hypoglycemia. The following conditions may occur during insulin therapy with V-Go: hypoglycemia (low blood glucose) or hyperglycemia (high blood glucose). Other adverse reactions associated with V-Go use include skin irritation from the adhesive pad or infections at the infusion site. V-Go should be removed before any magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) testing.
