Simple basal-bolus,
Disposable
Insulin Delivery
Device
- Users fill V-Go with their prescribed insulin using an included disposable filling accessory called the EZ Fill.
- V-Go is then applied to the skin in a discreet location like the abdomen or back of the arm.
- By following the patient instruction guide, patients can then start the flow of insulin (preset basal rate of insulin) and self-administer their bolus doses at mealtimes.

V-Go Instructions for Patient Use. Valeritas, Inc., 2011.
V-Go is a simple, fully disposable device for the delivery of basal-bolus insulin therapy in
adults with Type 2 diabetes. V-Go provides a continuous preset basal rate of insulin and allows
for on-demand bolus dosing around mealtimes, thereby providing an alternative to taking multiple daily insulin injections.
V-Go is small, lightweight and worn under the patients clothing. It measures just 2.4 x 1.3 x 0.5 inches and
weighs approximately 1 ounce when filled with insulin. Patients apply a new V-Go to the skin daily for one 24-hour period.
V-Go is not electronic, making it easy to operate and use.
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 Disposable 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.
