CamAPS FX / mylife Loop gains the Dexcom G7 option

Ypsomed’s mylife Loop (CamAPS FX plus YpsoPump) added Dexcom G7 support, with the UK among markets targeted for rollout from late June 2026.

The 60-second answer

If you use the mylife Loop in the UK, the closed loop system driven by the CamAPS FX app, you are getting another sensor to choose from. Ypsomed has announced that the loop will add the Dexcom G7 as an option, alongside the sensors it already supports. The plan is for a UK rollout from late June 2026, once the usual approvals are in place, so it is coming rather than here on the day this is written. More sensor choice can mean a better fit for your skin and your routine, but which sensors your own system supports is something your diabetes team can confirm.

  • CamAPS FX is the app and algorithm that runs the mylife closed loop, adjusting your background insulin automatically from your sensor readings.
  • A closed loop (or hybrid closed loop) is a pump and glucose sensor working together, with the automation handling the gaps between meals and overnight while you still dose for food.
  • The Dexcom G7 is being added as a sensor option, joining ones the system already uses, such as the Libre 3 Plus and the Dexcom G6.
  • This is a planned UK rollout from late June 2026, subject to regulatory sign-off, not an overnight change to your kit.
  • Which sensors your system supports, and any update you might need, is confirmed with your team, not switched by you alone.
What was announced

Another sensor joins the line-up

Ypsomed, which makes the mylife system, said it is integrating the Dexcom G7 into the mylife Loop, the closed loop built around the CamAPS FX algorithm and the YpsoPump. The G7 would sit alongside the sensors the system already works with, giving people more than one option. The UK is among the markets being targeted, with rollout planned from late June 2026, and it depends on regulatory approval going through. In plain terms, it is announced and aimed at the UK, but it arrives when the sign-off and the rollout reach your service.

Why it matters here

Why more sensor choice is a real benefit

Sensors are not interchangeable in the ways that matter day to day. They differ in how long they last, how they sit on the skin, how you start them, and how their adhesive behaves for your body. Some people react to one brand and not another, or find one easier to place on the arm. Being able to pick the sensor that suits you while keeping the same pump and app means the loop can fit your life a little better without a bigger upheaval.

What this does not do is change how the loop itself behaves, or ask anything of you right now. It is added choice, not a new way of dosing. If you are happy with the sensor you use, nothing here says you should move. If you have had trouble with your current one, a new option becoming available is a fair thing to raise at your next appointment, so your team can tell you what your system will support and whether a switch makes sense for you.

What to notice

Worth knowing

This is a planned UK rollout from late June 2026 and depends on regulatory approval, so the timing can move: your team will know what your service actually offers.
More sensor choice is about fit (wear time, skin comfort, how you start it), not a change to how the loop delivers insulin.
Adding a sensor option does not require you to switch: if your current sensor works well for you, keeping it is fine.
Any change to sensors or software on your system is set up with your team, not something to change on your own.
What to ask your team

Questions that make an appointment useful

"Will my mylife system be able to use the Dexcom G7, and when is it expected to be available to me?"
"Given how my current sensor suits my skin and routine, would switching actually help me?"
"Is there anything I would need to do, like a software update, if I did change sensor?"
"Are there reasons you would suggest staying on my current sensor for now?"
