A GLP-1 review is a good opportunity to move beyond “How is it going?” A short list of questions can help you use the time for the things that are difficult to raise from memory. Choose the questions that matter most to you, and take your own dated notes so the prescriber has context.
Questions about your treatment
Ask what the current treatment is intended to address in your situation, what the next review should focus on, and which changes you should report before then. If you are uncertain about the name of your medicine, its device, or the instructions in the patient leaflet, bring the package or a photo of its label.
Questions about symptoms and daily life
Ask how to describe a symptom you have noticed, whether it needs assessment, and what information would make a future conversation clearer. You can also ask about eating, hydration, sleep, activity, work routines, or travel if these have become harder to manage. Be specific about the dates, severity and impact of any problem rather than assuming it is expected or unimportant.
Questions about other medicines and care
Ask whether the clinician needs an updated list of your prescriptions, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, supplements or herbal products. If you see more than one healthcare professional, ask what information should be shared between them. It is also reasonable to ask who to contact between reviews, and what symptoms or situations should prompt earlier advice.
Questions about the next step
Finish with a practical question: what should you record before the next appointment, and when should you arrange it? Do not make a dose, schedule, or medication change before you have discussed it with the prescriber. For severe or rapidly worsening symptoms, seek prompt medical help rather than holding the question for a planned review.
