Tips for Safety and Success with V-Go
™
V-Go can be worn any place where insulin can be injected and that
remains flat when you sit, stand, or lie down. For best results, choose
a suitable site and prepare it appropriately.

After a full 24 hours of use, replace used V-Go with a new filled V-Go.
If V-Go falls off or stops working, replace it with a new filled V-Go
immediately.
Do not take any other insulin shots with V-Go.
Basal rate: V-Go delivers a continuous preset basal rate of insulin
over 24 hours that begins when you press and lock the needle button.
Make sure to press needle button to begin the flow of insulin. If you
were on long-acting insulin before V-Go, do not administer or push in
the number of basal Units you were taking using the bolus ready and
delivery buttons.
Bolus dose: Bolus dosing is a 2-step process. Each push of bolus
delivery button delivers 2 Units of insulin (1 push = 2 Units). There
is a maximum of 18 pushes (36 Units) in each 24-hour period.
Check your blood glucose and movement of grey indicator at regular
intervals (≈3 times a day) to make sure V-Go is working properly.
The indicator moves very slowly over the 24-hour period.
