V-GO

V-Go is a once daily insulin wearable patch-like device that helps provide glucose control. The V-Go is designed to release a set basal rate of insulin throughout the day, while allowing patients to provide bolus insulin with meals. 3 types of V-GO are available: V-GO 20, V-GO 30 & V-GO 40.  Over a 24-hour period they provide total basal insulin dose of 20, 30 or 40 units respectively.
