How to keep a Mounjaro logbook

A Mounjaro logbook in GLPath is three things layered together: a dated entry for every shot with the site marked on a body map, a dose step-chart that shows exactly when and how much the dose changed, and a side-effect pick-list drawn from the label rather than typed from memory weeks later. Read together, a run of weekly entries stops being a string of dates you'd otherwise have to reconstruct and becomes a shape you can actually look back over.

What does a single dose entry record?

Each time you log a Mounjaro shot, GLPath records the date, the dose in mg, and — since it's an injectable — the site, tapped directly on a body map rather than typed out. Nothing about that entry tells you what the next dose should be; your current prescribed dose lives in Settings, set once and carried onto each new log automatically, so the history and the plan never get confused with each other.

Why does the step chart matter more than any one shot?

A single entry is just a data point. The dose step-chart on your dashboard and in Reports is where the pattern shows up — a stepped line that stays flat while your dose holds steady and jumps exactly on the date it changes, drawn directly alongside your weight chart. The chart draws each recorded mg change as its own distinct step, whatever cadence your prescriber actually used — it doesn't assume a particular rhythm, it just plots what you logged. Looking at the two charts together lets you notice, for yourself, whether your weight trend shifted around the same week a dose step happened — GLPath draws both series; it doesn't draw the conclusion.

Where does the side-effect list come from?

Mounjaro's active ingredient is tirzepatide, and when you select it as your medication, GLPath's side-effect picker follows suit — a list drawn from what's actually documented for tirzepatide, covering the common gastrointestinal entries plus injection-site reactions, so you're picking from a relevant list instead of typing the same words out every week. If something you're noticing isn't on the list, an "Other" option lets you add your own term, privately, and it stays available to pick again next time. The full shape of that log — pick-lists, custom terms, and the chart it builds over time — is covered in the side-effect diary guide.

How does site rotation fit into the log?

Site rotation only works if you can actually see where you've been injecting, and that's the part GLPath handles without extra effort: the same tap you make on the body map when logging a dose is what builds the record. Pull up a few months of entries and the sites that got skipped over become obvious at a glance, in a way that's genuinely hard to reconstruct from memory alone. The injection-site guide covers how that per-site view is built and what it looks like once you've got a real stretch of history behind it.

What can you do with the record later?

Everything above stays exportable in the same form you see it on the dashboard. A CSV of your dose history is free on every account with no limit on how far back it goes, and a full-history PDF report — the "Since the beginning" preset — is free too, built to be something you can print or attach ahead of an appointment rather than screenshot from the app. Shorter custom-range PDFs are a Plus feature, and so is the estimated medication-level curve; the doses feature page covers what the free dose log includes on its own.

None of this is a substitute for anything your clinician tells you about your own dose — it's just an accurate, exportable record of what you actually did, ready to bring along the next time it's more useful to hand over receipts than to rely on what you remember.
