GLP-1 tracking guide

What to Track During GLP-1 Treatment

A useful record does not tell you how to change treatment. It helps you remember what happened, when it happened, and what you want to discuss with your healthcare professional.

Start with the treatment details you were given

Record the exact medication or product name shown on your label, whether it is injectable or oral, and the date and time you took it. If your label includes a strength or concentration, copy it exactly rather than converting it yourself.

A tracking app is a memory aid, not a prescription. If the label, device, or instructions are unclear, ask the prescribing clinician or dispensing pharmacist before using the medication.

  • Exact product or medication name
  • Injectable or oral route
  • Date and time recorded
  • Strength or concentration exactly as displayed
  • Injection site, when applicable
  • Personal notes or questions

Add daily context only when it is useful to you

The World Health Organization describes obesity care as comprehensive and long term, and the CDC notes that tracking nutrition, activity, and other habits can help people understand their starting point. A personal record may therefore include weight, calories, protein, appetite, energy, or other observations, without turning any single number into a verdict.

Capy keeps side effects separate from broader wellbeing signals such as appetite, food noise, and energy. That separation can make a later conversation easier to review. Severe, sudden, or concerning symptoms should be addressed with an appropriate healthcare service rather than stored only in an app.

  • Weight, if weighing is appropriate for your plan
  • Nutrition entries you have chosen to monitor
  • Side effects and their perceived severity
  • Appetite, food noise, and energy as wellbeing observations
  • Questions to raise at the next appointment

Bring a timeline, not a self-diagnosis

Before an appointment, review the dates of recorded administrations, symptoms, and meaningful changes. A concise PDF or CSV can help you recall the timeline, but it does not establish that a medication caused a symptom and it is not a restorable medical record.

Capy's estimated medication level is an educational mathematical model based on entered records. It is not a blood test, does not confirm safety or effectiveness, and must not be used to change a dose or schedule.

Independent app disclosure

Capy is an independent tracking app. It is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by any pharmaceutical manufacturer. All product and company names belong to their respective owners.

Questions people ask

Can Capy tell me when to increase or reduce a dose?

No. Capy records the treatment information you enter and does not recommend doses, titration, treatment changes, diagnoses, or medical decisions.

Is an estimated medication level a laboratory result?

No. It is an educational estimate derived from recorded administrations, not a measurement of medication in blood or tissue.

What should I do with a severe or sudden symptom?

Do not rely on an app entry alone. Contact an appropriate healthcare professional or emergency service based on the urgency of the situation.
