What is it?
Preparing means keeping a short record between visits. It helps you explain important changes without depending only on memory.
What does it mean for me?
GLP-1 treatment can affect your appetite, digestion, energy and eating habits. These changes may happen slowly. Simple notes help your doctor understand the pattern and use your visit well.
What should I do now?
- Record nausea, constipation, diarrhoea, tiredness and injection-site problems.
- Note missed or delayed doses, new medicines, supplements and changes in alcohol use.
- Write your three most important questions before the visit.
What should I watch for?
Watch for symptoms that repeat, become worse or affect your daily life. Notice changes in eating, drinking, sleep, mood and energy. Note whether symptoms happen near your dose day.
When should I get medical help?
Contact your healthcare professional if symptoms continue, worsen or make normal eating and drinking difficult. Do not wait for your planned visit if a problem is worrying you.
Remember
A few clear notes and three questions can make your short doctor visit much more useful.
