Keeping a factual GLP-1 injection-site history

By Richard Vaughn, RN · Specialty Clinical Educator · Updated October 2026

The short version

Use a tracker only to record a medication event after it happened: the date, the medication and dose text, and the site you actually used. A tracker should not choose a site, set a schedule, or recommend a dose. Your medication's official Instructions for Use and your prescribing clinician or pharmacist are the authorities for those decisions.

Record completed events, not planned actions

A useful medication history is factual and easy to verify. After an event, record only what you know happened:

  • The date and time of the completed event.
  • The medication name and dose text exactly as shown on the label or entered by you.
  • The injection site you actually used, if applicable.
  • Whether the event matched the plan your clinician prescribed.
  • Any observation you want to bring to a clinician or pharmacist.

Do not save a planned event as completed. If a record is wrong, correct or delete it so the history remains reliable.

Use the medication-specific instructions

Products, delivery devices, and individual treatment plans can differ. Before taking medication, follow the current Instructions for Use packaged with the specific product and the directions from the prescribing clinician. Ask a clinician or pharmacist when instructions are unclear.

A history can help you answer, "What did I record last time?" It cannot answer, "What should I do next?" Do not use an app-generated pattern, streak, countdown, or reminder as medication instruction.

Review the history with a professional

Bring the factual record to a clinician or pharmacist when you have a question about technique, timing, a missed or different event, an injection-site concern, or a possible medication effect. The record supplies context; the professional interprets it.

When a tracker is not enough

GLP 100 cannot evaluate symptoms or determine whether an event is safe. For urgent symptoms or a suspected emergency, use local emergency services. For non-urgent medication questions, contact the prescribing clinician or pharmacist.

How GLP 100 helps

GLP 100 stores the completed medication events you enter and shows recent recorded sites as history. It does not identify a recommended site or tell you when to take medication. Optional reminders tell you to check your prescribed plan and record what you do. Records stay on the device by default, and a user-started full export can include them.

Always follow the Instructions for Use packaged with your specific medication and your prescriber's directions. They take precedence over any general guide, including this one.

GLP 100 is a tracking and education tool, not medical advice and not a medical device. It does not diagnose, treat, prescribe, choose an injection site, or recommend medication timing. Follow the official instructions and your prescribing clinician. For urgent symptoms or a suspected emergency, use local emergency services.
