What to bring to a GLP-1 follow-up appointment: a one-page summary from your spreadsheet

This guide is about keeping records, not medical advice. Your dose, schedule and injection technique are set by your prescriber and the patient leaflet; bring questions to them.

Follow-up appointments are short. A one-page summary helps you use the time for questions instead of trying to remember dates.

What to put on the page

• Current dose and the date it started.
• Dose history: each change and its date.
• Weight: start, now (7-day average) and the change.
• Side effects: which ones, how often in the last four weeks.
• Missed or late doses since the last visit.
• Your questions, written down.

Formulas that fill it in

Current dose (last row of the dose log):

=INDEX(Doses!D:D, COUNTA(Doses!D:D))

Side-effect count in the last 28 days, if your daily log has a column per symptom with a 1 when it happened:

=SUMIFS(Daily!C:C, Daily!A:A, ">="&TODAY()-28)

Days since last visit, with the visit date in a settings cell:

=TODAY()-Settings!B5

Print or share

Set the print area to the summary only (Page Layout → Print Area) and fit it to one page. In Google Sheets, use File → Download → PDF with "Selected cells". Bring it on paper or on your phone.

Let your doctor interpret the numbers. The sheet is there so nothing is forgotten.

Rather start with a ready-made file?

The GLP-1 Tracker has a doctor-visit summary sheet that fills in from your logs. Your data stays in your own file.
