Glu is the only GLP-1 app that learns from your data — and turns it into insights your doctor actually wants to see. Most trackers store your logs. Glu reads them. When your nausea peaks every time you eat high-fat meals, Glu tells you. When your weight drops more in weeks you exercise three times, Glu shows you. When your next appointment is two weeks away, Glu hands you a structured report — doses, symptoms, side effects, weight trend — ready to share. That's the difference between a log and a companion. --- TRACK EVERYTHING IN ONE PLACE - Doses & injection sites: Log injections or pills in one tap. Automatic site rotation across 14 locations so you never repeat too soon. - Symptoms & side effects: Choose from 19 tracked symptoms, rate severity, and watch patterns emerge over time. - Weight & body metrics: Moving averages cut through daily noise so you see your real trend, not just today's number. - Food & nutrition: Snap a photo and let AI estimate your macros, or type what you ate. Protein, fiber, calories, sugar — all tracked without obsession. - Portion Check: Point your camera at your plate and Glu tells you what portion fits your day. The only app that answers "how much of this?" in real time. - Water & hydration: One-tap logging with quick-add presets. GLP-1s reduce appetite and food-sourced water — staying hydrated matters more than most users realise. - Movement: Log any activity or sync with Apple Health. See how movement shapes your results over time. --- GLU ACTUALLY UNDERSTANDS YOUR DATA Other apps show you your logs. Glu connects them. Journey Insights surfaces patterns across everything you track — symptoms, meals, doses, weight, and movement. The kind of patterns that only become visible when months of data are read together. - "Your nausea peaks within 6 hours of high-fat meals — 4 out of 5 times." - "Weeks with 3+ exercise sessions show an average 0.4 kg more loss." - "You've missed your dose 3 of the last 5 Sundays — want to shift your reminder?" This is not a dashboard. It's the thing your current app was never built to do. --- WALK INTO EVERY APPOINTMENT PREPARED Glu generates a structured Doctor Report — a clean PDF of your doses, meals, weight trend, symptoms, and side effects across any time period. No more trying to remember six weeks of data in a two-minute appointment. No more "I think it's been going okay." Hand your provider something real. No other GLP-1 app does this. --- PROGRESS YOU CAN SEE AND FEEL - Glow Up: Side-by-side before/after photos. Because the scale is not the whole story. - Progress charts: Weight, symptoms, nutrition, movement — all with multiple time window views and goal reference lines. - Milestones: Glu notices when you've hit streaks, goals, and turning points, and marks them. --- BUILT FOR YOUR JOURNEY, NOT AGAINST IT Glu is not a fitness tracker. It does not count streaks to punish you. It does not celebrate burning calories. It does not make you feel behind. It is built for the reality of a medication journey — slow, non-linear, emotionally complex, and worth doing. Every word in this app was written for someone navigating something hard, not someone training for a race. Supports Ozempic®, Wegovy® (injection + pill), Mounjaro®, Zepbound®, Saxenda®, Rybelsus®, Victoza®, Trulicity®, Foundayo®, compounded semaglutide, tirzepatide, retatrutide, and all GLP-1 and GLP-1/GIP medications. --- PRIVACY FIRST Your private health data is yours. Glu does not sell it, share it, or use it to target ads. --- Health Disclaimer: Glu is designed for tracking and educational purposes only. It is not a substitute for professional medical advice. Always consult your healthcare provider for medical decisions. *Some features require a Pro subscription.* Privacy Policy: myglu.health/privacy Terms of Use: myglu.health/terms Support: myglu.health/support
