Manual report: If you track in a spreadsheet or notebook, create a simple one-page summary. Include a weight graph, current measurements versus baseline, top 3 side effects with frequency, and questions for your provider.
What your provider wants to know: - Are side effects manageable? If not, which ones and how severe? - Is the medication producing measurable results? - Are there any new symptoms since last visit? - Are you maintaining nutrition, protein, and hydration? - What are your goals for the next treatment period?

What Data to Collect Before Your Appointment
Walking into a provider appointment with organized data transforms a 15-minute check-in into a productive protocol improvement session. Here is exactly what to bring.
Check your GLP-1 eligibility
Use our free BMI Calculator to see if you may qualify for provider-reviewed GLP-1 therapy.
Try the BMI Calculator →Mandatory data (bring this every time): - Injection log for the period since your last visit: dates, times, doses, injection sites, and any missed doses - Weight history (weekly weigh-ins at the same time and conditions) - Side effect log with severity ratings and duration - Your current medication and supplement list (including any changes since last visit)
Recommended data (if you track it): - Body measurements: waist, hips, chest (monthly) - Sleep data from a wearable device: average duration, deep sleep percentage, HRV trends - Blood pressure readings (especially if you take blood pressure medication) - Fasting glucose readings (especially if diabetic or pre-diabetic) - Exercise log: type, duration, and frequency for the reporting period - Progress photos (monthly, same conditions)
Lab results: If you had bloodwork done between appointments, bring the results even if your provider ordered them. Sometimes results go to a different portal or fax number, and having a copy ensures nothing is missed.
Your questions: Write down 2-3 specific questions before the appointment. "Am I on track?" is vague. "My waist measurement hasn't changed in 6 weeks despite losing 8 pounds on the scale. Should we adjust anything?" is actionable.
How to Format Your Report for Maximum Impact
Your provider reviews multiple patient reports each day. A well-formatted report communicates your status in under 2 minutes, leaving more appointment time for discussion and adjustments.
Use the SOAP structure that medical professionals already think in:
Subjective (how you feel): - 2-3 sentences summarizing your overall experience since last visit - Note your biggest win and your biggest concern - Example: "Energy and sleep have improved significantly since adding CJC-1295/Ipamorelin. Main concern is persistent mild nausea on GLP-1 injection days."
Objective (your data): - Weight: start, current, change - Key measurements: waist, any others you track - Side effects: summary with severity and frequency - Compliance: percentage of prescribed doses taken - Labs: any abnormal values flagged
Assessment (your interpretation): - "I believe the protocol is working because [specific data point]" - "I am concerned about [specific trend] and wondering if we should adjust" - Your provider may disagree with your assessment, and that's the point of the conversation
Plan (what you want to discuss): - "I want to discuss whether my GLP-1 dose should increase" - "I want to understand my latest IGF-1 result" - "I want to plan my cycling schedule for the next 3 months"
Practical formatting tips: - One page maximum. Your provider doesn't have time for a 5-page report - Use bullet points, not paragraphs. Scannability matters - Bold any values that are outside normal range or show significant change - Include your name, date of report, and days since protocol start at the top - The can generate this report format automatically from your tracked data
