What to track in your log, and why
2 min read
In short: Record every dose with the time, amount, injection site and which vial it came from, plus how you feel. A consistent record helps you spot patterns, and makes appointments with your doctor far more useful.
For every dose
| Record | Why |
|---|---|
| Date and time | Shows whether you're on schedule |
| Amount and units drawn | Catches maths or measuring mistakes |
| Injection site | Makes rotation easy |
| Which vial | If something goes wrong, you know which batch |
| Anything unusual | Stinging, a missed dose, feeling unwell |
For every vial
- Product and batch number
- Amount in the vial and the liquid added
- Date mixed and use-by date
- How many doses are left
How you're going
Weight, mood, sleep and side effects only take seconds a day, and they are what tells you, and your doctor, whether something is working. A trend over weeks is far more useful than any single day.
Consistency beats detail
A simple log you keep every day beats a detailed one you abandon after a week. Log at the moment you take the dose, so you don't have to remember later.
