What to track on a GLP-1: doses, weight, side effects and more

The most useful things to track on a GLP-1 are when you took each dose, your weight over time, any side effects you notice, and the questions you want to ask your doctor. A short, consistent log beats a detailed one you stop keeping.

Updated October 25, 2026. This is general information, not medical advice.

Doses

Note the date and time of each dose, and the injection site if you use a pen. If you miss or delay a dose, the log shows the real pattern, which helps when you talk to your prescriber.

Weight

Weigh yourself at a consistent time, such as the same morning each week, and log it. One day is noisy, but a trend over weeks is easy to read.

Waist and other measurements

Some people also track waist size, since the scale is not the only change. You can add other numbers that matter to you, such as blood pressure or steps.

Side effects

Jot a quick tag and a note when something feels off. Reporting what happened and when is more useful to your doctor than trying to remember later.

Keep it simple

The best tracker is the one you actually use. GLP Smart is built for quick entries: one tap for a dose, a number for weight, a tag for how you feel.
