[Diabetes-Talk] V-Go

[Jamie Gurganus]

I have not heard of this system, so I just looked it up myself. It does look like a great alternative for those of us who might not be able to get And accessible pump once our 530G warrantee is up next year. Let me know what you find out about it from your doctor. My only question is knowing how much insulin needs to be put in the patch to cover if you need to take extra insulin for a high blood sugar. It sounds like a great possibility though.
