Dose Reminders

Never miss an injection with GLPea's smart reminder system. Set up notifications to alert you on injection day.

Setting Up Reminders

Enable Notifications

1. Go to Settings → Notifications
2. Toggle Dose Reminders on
3. If prompted, allow notifications in iOS Settings

Choose Reminder Time

Set when you want to be reminded:

1. Tap Reminder Time
2. Select your preferred time (e.g., 9:00 AM)
3. Save

Best Time to Remind

Set your reminder for when you'll actually be able to inject. Many people choose:

• Morning (start of day routine)
• Evening (end of day, more relaxed)

Additional Reminders

Enable extra reminders if you need more nudges:

• Day before - "Tomorrow is injection day"
• Follow-up - Reminder 4 hours after first if you haven't logged
• Overdue alert - If you miss your injection day

Reminder Types

Injection Day Reminder

Your main reminder on the day you're scheduled to inject.

What you'll see:

• Notification title: "Time for your injection"
• Notification body: "Your [Medication] dose is due today"
• Tap to open GLPea and log your dose

Day-Before Reminder

A heads-up the day before:

What you'll see:

• "Tomorrow is injection day"
• Helps you prepare (ensure you have medication, etc.)

Follow-Up Reminder

If you haven't logged by a certain time:

What you'll see:

• "Don't forget your dose!"
• Sent 4-6 hours after your main reminder
• Only if you haven't logged yet

Changing Your Schedule

Permanent Schedule Change

To change which day you inject:

1. Go to Settings → Edit Protocol
2. Change your Injection Day
3. Save

Your reminders automatically adjust to the new day.

Temporary Schedule Adjustment

If you need to inject early or late just once:

1. Take your injection whenever works
2. Log it in GLPea with the actual date/time
3. Your next reminder will be ~7 days from that dose

GLPea's countdown and reminders are based on your last logged dose, so they automatically adjust.

Notification Settings

Sound and Vibration

Customize how reminders alert you:

1. Go to iPhone Settings → Notifications → GLPea

Managing Notification Fatigue

If Reminders Feel Like Too Much

You can customize to reduce notifications:

1. Disable day-before reminders
2. Disable follow-up reminders
3. Keep only the main injection day reminder

If You're Still Missing Doses

Consider:

1. Adding a second reminder at a different time
2. Enabling the follow-up reminder
3. Setting up Apple Watch complications for visual cues

Troubleshooting

Not Receiving Reminders

Check GLPea settings:

1. Settings → Notifications → Ensure reminders are ON

Check iOS settings:

1. iPhone Settings → Notifications → GLPea
2. Ensure "Allow Notifications" is ON
3. Check that "Alerts" and/or "Sounds" are enabled

Check Focus mode:

1. If using Focus mode, add GLPea to allowed apps

Reminders Coming at Wrong Time

1. Check your reminder time in Settings → Notifications
2. Verify your phone's time zone is correct
3. Ensure your injection day in protocol settings is correct

Duplicate Reminders

This can happen if you reinstalled the app:

1. Go to Settings → Notifications
2. Toggle reminders OFF then ON again
3. This resets your notification schedule

Siri Reminders

You can also ask Siri to remind you:

"Hey Siri, remind me to take my GLPea dose tomorrow at 9 AM"

This creates an iOS Reminder, separate from GLPea's built-in notifications.
