The patient reported that the v-go did not deliver enough insulin and their blood sugar stayed high.It was reported that the patient couldn't figure out why his blood sugars were so variable and talked to the pharmacist who said it might be the v-go malfunctioning.His blood sugars got up to 435 and would not go down even with the v-go on, and with bolus clicks.He didn't have any changes in diet to explain this spike in blood sugar.It was reported that there are no devices available for return to the manufacturer for evaluation.
