CamAPS FX: CamAPS FX is an innovative insulin pump system currently compatible with the mylife YpsoPump and the Dana RS/Dana-i. The algorithm is the same for both systems and is easy to use. The app is clear and easy to use, allowing for easy control via your smartphone. The system only requires your daily total insulin dose and weight to get started, while the conventional basal rate is only stored for safety purposes. The system automatically determines how much insulin you need and offers a well-functioning bolus calculator for meals, as well as two intuitive modes to respond more or less aggressively to your levels. CamAPS FX is versatile and offers special features for children aged 2 and pregnant women. When used with the Dana-i, you have a minimal and light pump that still holds 300 units of insulin. CamAPS FX is a good choice if you are looking for a simple, autonomous system that you can control completely via your smartphone.
