5 Must-Know Tips for New GLP-1 Users (From Someone Who’s Been There)

1. Rotate Your Injection Sites—Seriously

Injecting in the same spot every week can cause irritation, bruising, and affect how your medication is absorbed. Rotate between your thighs, stomach, and sometimes even your upper arms (depending on guidance from your provider).

💡 Pro Tip: The Dose AI app reminds you exactly where you injected last so you never forget to rotate.

2. Start Small with Meals

GLP-1s can drastically reduce your appetite. That might sound great—but skipping meals or under-eating can make you feel nauseous, dizzy, or sluggish. Start with small, protein-focused meals and snacks, especially in the first few weeks.

3. Stay Ahead of Nausea

Nausea is the most common side effect, but it’s usually manageable. A few tricks: eat slowly, avoid greasy foods, don’t lie down after eating, and let your pen warm to room temperature before injecting.

4. Hydration Is Your Secret Weapon

You’ll be surprised how many symptoms (headaches, fatigue, constipation) improve just by drinking more water. Aim for 8+ glasses a day, and consider adding electrolytes if you’re feeling depleted.

5. Track Your Progress (Beyond Just the Scale)

Weight loss is just one part of the GLP-1 journey. You might also feel more energetic, sleep better, or have fewer food cravings. Logging all of it gives you momentum—especially when the scale slows down.

Bonus: Let Dose AI Make It Easier

Starting GLP-1 can feel like a full-time job. Between tracking shots, remembering to rotate sites, managing side effects, and trying to eat enough protein, it’s a lot.
