GLP-1 pill or injection: how tracking differs

A daily pill is best tracked with a quick daily check-in, while a weekly injection is tracked by dose day and injection site. Weight and side effects are logged the same way for both.

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

Pills: daily rhythm

Log the time you took it. The pattern you want to see is a steady day-to-day routine, and gaps stand out.

Injections: weekly rhythm and sites

Log the dose date and where you injected. Rotating sites is a common instruction in medication guides.

What stays the same

Weight at a regular time, side effects with dates, and notes about anything that changed.

Switching between the two

If you switch, keep one log so your prescriber can see the whole story. GLP Smart lets you change your schedule type in Settings and keeps your history.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use GLP Smart for both?

Yes. Pick pill or shot in setup and change it later in Settings.

Does it decide which is better for me?

No. That is a conversation for you and your prescriber.
