Brief summary

The purpose of the study is to collect data about how well U-100 Regular Human Insulin can be used in the V-Go Insulin Delivery Device compared to U-100 Rapid Acting Insulin in the V-Go Insulin Delivery Device. The data collected will be used to see how much subjects' blood sugar levels change over time after they switch from using U-100 Rapid Acting Insulin to U-100 Regular Human Insulin within their V-Go Insulin Delivery Device.

Interventions

DEVICEVGo

Eligible subjects will be randomized to either stay on RAI delivered by V-Go or randomized to switch to U-100 RHI delivered by V-Go.

Willing to complete all study related activities 7. Willing and able to understand and sign a written ICF indicating that they agree to participate and have been informed of all pertinent aspects of the study 8. Must be willing to take and record 7 glucose measurements per time period (pre-morning meal (fasting), pre-midday meal, pre-evening meal, and 2-hours after the start of the morning, midday, and evening meals, and at bedtime) three times throughout the study (prior to Visit 2, 3, and 4). 9.
