mylife Advancing Smartphone Based Adaptive Automated Insulin Delivery
Product Information
The mylifeTM product is designed to provide users with more freedom and confidence in managing their meals. It offers a range of features to help users control their post-meal glucose levels and ensure they stay within target ranges.
Managing Meals
When splitting the dose as mentioned above, if post-meal glucose levels
consistently remain above target, there are two options to consider:
- Give the insulin for the remaining carbohydrates via a second bolus using the bolus calculator. This can be done during or at the end of the meal.
- Enter the remaining carbohydrates in the Add meal function.
This informs the algorithm that additional x grams of carbs have been consumed.

Managing meals
Tips for getting good post-meal glucose levels:
- Review carbohydrate to insulin (CIR) ratios around 2–4 weeks after starting mylife™ CamAPS® FX and periodically thereafter.
- If you see the algorithm routinely shutting off insulin delivery directly after the meal, the CIR might be too strong.
- If the algorithm ramps up to give a lot of insulin directly after the meal, the CIR may be too weak. Counting carbohydrates and your choice of carbs influence post-meal glucose levels, so aim to be as accurate as possible when estimating carbs and try to choose lower glycaemic index (GI) foods.
Aim to give mealtime insulin 10–15 minutes before eating.
For people with unpredictable appetites, consider covering the minimum amount
of carbs and topping up with an additional bolus later or the “Add meal”
function if required.
If a bolus is late/forgotten, consider giving ± 50 % of the calculated bolus
or using the “Boost” function to help correct the high, as the algorithm will
have increased insulin delivery to cover some of the meal already.
Complex meals:
- For large carb meals or where you previously split the bolus (dual / extended wave), consider entering a maximum of about 60 g via the bolus calculator or the initial (first dose) bolus you usually did 10–15 minutes before the meal and then leaving mylife™ CamAPS® FX to manage the rest over the next few hours.
- Adjust the carb amount entered via the bolus calculator next time depending on the outcome.
For safety reasons, the mylife™ CamAPS® FX bolus calculator will only work if the phone has a security pin or password locking it when not in use.
If post-meal glucose levels are consistently above target when splitting the dose as above, consider:
- Giving the insulin for the rest of the carbs via a second bolus (using the bolus calculator) during or at the end of the meal OR
- Enter the remaining carbs in the “Add meal” function to inform the algorithm that additional “x” grams of carbs are being consumed.
- Choose “Meal or snack”. This announces to the system that extra carbs are being eaten. mylife™ CamAPS® FX will adjust to cover the carbs but only when glucose rises.
- For slowly absorbed meals – often higher fat, protein and/or very low GI meals – consider splitting the bolus, but this time add the remain- ing (2nd) amount of carbs in the “Add meal” function AND choosing “Slowly absorbed meal”.
- mylife™ CamAPS® FX will deliver additional insulin, if required, every 30 minutes for the next 3–4 hours in response to rising glucose levels.
- You will see 6 green triangles on diasend®/ Glooko when this feature is used.
