How to keep a useful GLP-1 medication log
A medication log works best when it answers the same questions every time: what was recorded, how much, when, and where. Dial keeps those fields together on your iPhone, with optional Apple Watch logging in Dial Pro.
Bring your existing dose history
If you already keep a CSV record, you can import it into Dial for free. Check the column choices and first rows in the preview before saving. The CSV import guide explains how to check dates, units, and rows that cannot be imported, and how to undo an import from its completion summary. Keep the original file as a separate copy.
What to record
For each dose, record:
- the medication name and amount you actually took
- the date and time you took it
- the injection site, if that is part of your record
- a short note for a detail you will want to recognize later
You can keep weight, side-effect notes, and supply details alongside the dose timeline. Use the terms and schedule from your prescriber or pharmacy. Dial does not calculate a dose or tell you what to take.
Correcting a mistake
Open the entry in history and edit the field that is wrong. If you cannot confirm a time, amount, or site, leave a note about what you know instead of guessing. Keep the original source for instructions and contact your prescriber with questions about treatment.
Preparing a record to share
Before a visit, review the date range and scan for missing or duplicate entries. Dial Pro can create a PDF or CSV from your records. Read the file before sharing, remove anything outside the purpose of the conversation, and use a sharing method you trust.
Paper records
If you also keep a paper copy, the printable dose log has the same columns, and the injection-site rotation chart lists the areas each label names.
Free and Pro
The free Dial download includes a phone dose log with no cap on entries. Dial Pro adds quick logging on Apple Watch, dose and weight charts, side-effect trends, and PDF or CSV export. The report reflects the entries you made. It is not a medical record or treatment plan.
Privacy boundaries
Dial does not require an account. Core records stay on your device, or can use your own private iCloud database when you turn on Sync with iCloud. Zentsu does not run a server that stores or reads your records. Weight entries and progress photos use separate local storage. See the Dial privacy policy for the details.
