Dose Tracking Overview
GLPea makes it easy to track every injection, manage your schedule, and maintain proper injection site rotation. This section covers everything about dose tracking.
Why Track Your Doses?
Stay on Schedule
GLP-1 medications work best when taken consistently. Tracking helps you:
- Never miss a dose
- Maintain your weekly routine
- Know exactly when your next injection is due
Share with Your Doctor
Your dose history is valuable medical information:
- Show adherence to your protocol
- Export reports for appointments
- Track how long you've been on each dose level
Monitor Your Progress
Correlate your doses with health outcomes:
- See how weight changes relate to dose timing
- Notice patterns in side effects
- Track your journey over time
What GLPea Tracks
For each dose, GLPea records:
| Data | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Date & time | When you took the injection |
| Injection site | Where you injected (for rotation) |
| Dose amount | Your current dose level |
| Medication | Which GLP-1 you're taking |

Dose Tracking Tips
Log Immediately
The best time to log is right after injecting. Keep your phone nearby during your injection routine.
Consistent Timing
While the exact hour doesn't matter much, taking your medication around the same time each week helps maintain consistent levels in your body.
Rotate Sites
Don't inject in the same spot twice in a row. GLPea's site tracking helps you remember where you last injected.
Common Questions
What if I forget to log? You can log a dose retroactively. Just adjust the date/time when logging to when you actually injected.
Can I delete a dose log? Yes, go to your history, tap the dose entry, and select "Delete." This is useful if you accidentally logged twice.
What if I miss a dose entirely? Don't log a dose you didn't take. Skip it and log your next actual dose. GLPea will adjust your countdown.
