Protocol FAQs

Start at 500mg once or twice daily with meals. Titrate up to 1,000–2,000mg/day over 4–6 weeks. Extended-release versions reduce GI side effects and can be taken once daily with dinner.

Always take with food, start low and go slow, and consider switching to extended-release formulation. Tracking which meals trigger symptoms with Shotlee helps identify your best timing.

Yes — metformin and GLP-1 medications are frequently combined for type 2 diabetes management. They have complementary, additive mechanisms for blood sugar control.

Open the Shotlee app, navigate to the dose logging screen, select Metformin as your medication, and enter the dose amount, injection site, and time. Shotlee stores all entries with timestamps and lets you view your complete dose history, adherence rate, and missed dose alerts. The app is free to download and use.

The most important side effects to track include gastrointestinal symptoms (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation), injection site reactions, appetite changes, energy levels, and any unusual symptoms. Log these daily in Shotlee so you can share accurate trend data with your healthcare provider at your next visit.

Most patients begin noticing appetite changes within the first one to two weeks. Measurable weight loss typically becomes apparent by weeks four to eight, depending on the dose titration schedule and individual metabolic response. Track your weekly weight in Shotlee to visualize your personal response curve over time.
