Mounjaro, Wegovy, and Diabetes: The Factual Picture
Mounjaro contains tirzepatide, a dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist. Wegovy contains semaglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist. Both are prescription-only injectable medicines taken once a week. According to information published on the electronic Medicines Compendium, these medicines act on appetite-regulating pathways, and are prescribed by clinicians for specific indications — which, depending on a person's individual circumstances, can include weight management in adults with or without type 2 diabetes.
Type 2 diabetes and weight management
Many people prescribed Mounjaro or Wegovy are also living with type 2 diabetes. Weight management is often a meaningful part of type 2 diabetes care, and some individuals are prescribed GLP-1 or dual GIP/GLP-1 medicines as part of a broader treatment plan. Whether that applies to your situation is something your prescriber or doctor will have considered when they issued your prescription. You can read more about how Mounjaro relates to diabetes management in our dedicated overview.
Type 1 diabetes
Mounjaro and Wegovy are not currently licensed for the treatment of type 1 diabetes. If you have type 1 diabetes and have questions about whether either medicine is appropriate for you, that conversation belongs with your prescriber or doctor — not with a tracking app. For a closer look at the specific considerations involved, see our page on Mounjaro and type 1 diabetes.
An important note on hypoglycaemia
People with diabetes who are also taking insulin or certain other diabetes medicines may face an increased risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycaemia) when adding a GLP-1 or dual GIP/GLP-1 medicine. This is a clinically significant consideration. Your prescriber or doctor will be aware of your full medication list and should be your first point of contact for any questions about interactions or monitoring. If you experience symptoms of hypoglycaemia — such as shakiness, sweating, or confusion — contact your healthcare professional promptly. Any concerns about how your medicines interact should be raised with your prescriber, not managed independently.

Tracking Your Journey With GLP Trackr When You Have Diabetes
Living with diabetes and managing a weekly injectable medicine involves a lot of moving parts. GLP Trackr's side-effect and symptom tracking is particularly useful here — you can log how you feel each day, including energy levels, digestive symptoms, and mood, and build up a record over time that is genuinely useful to bring to your prescriber appointments. Rather than trying to recall how last Tuesday felt at a clinic visit two weeks later, you have a clear, timestamped log ready to share.
The app also includes a daily check-in that captures weight, energy, food noise, sleep, and water intake in around 30 seconds each morning — helpful context when your prescriber is reviewing how your treatment is working alongside your diabetes management. And if you are tracking what you eat as part of your care plan, the food logging feature — including AI photo scanning and a barcode scanner — makes capturing meals straightforward even when appetite is unpredictable.
GLP Trackr is a companion tracking tool — it does not provide medical advice, adjust your treatment, or replace your healthcare team. It is designed to help you stay organised and informed so that your conversations with your prescriber are more productive. For a broader overview of everything the app supports on a Mounjaro journey, visit our Mounjaro companion guide.
Always follow the guidance of your prescriber or doctor — they know your full history, including your diabetes management. If any symptoms feel severe, persistent, or worrying, contact your healthcare professional promptly rather than logging and waiting.

GLPIQ tracks where you are in your injection cycle and adjusts everything around it: lighter meals on nausea days, higher protein when appetite returns, and smarter targets as your medication level shifts.
Predicts Before You Feel It
GLPIQ learns your personal side effect patterns over time. After a few cycles, it starts warning you the morning before a rough day — and adjusts your meal plan automatically.

GLPIQ analyses every dose you've been on: weight loss rate, side effects, food noise, mood, protein adherence and tells you which dose gave you the best results. No other app does this.

Frequently asked questions.
Mounjaro (tirzepatide) is a prescription-only medicine that clinicians may prescribe for certain adults, including those with type 2 diabetes, as part of a weight management or diabetes care plan. Whether it is appropriate for you is a decision made by your prescriber based on your individual circumstances.
Mounjaro is not currently licensed for type 1 diabetes. If you have type 1 diabetes and questions about this medicine, speak with your prescriber or doctor — they can advise based on your full medical history.
Combining GLP-1 or dual GIP/GLP-1 medicines with insulin or certain other diabetes medicines may increase the risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycaemia). Your prescriber should be aware of your full medication list. Contact your healthcare professional if you have concerns or experience hypoglycaemia symptoms.
Mounjaro contains tirzepatide (a dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist) and Wegovy contains semaglutide (a GLP-1 receptor agonist). Both are prescription-only. Which medicine is appropriate for your situation, including your diabetes management, is a clinical decision for your prescriber — not a choice to make based on general comparison.
GLP Trackr lets you log symptoms, energy levels, food, daily check-ins, and doses in one place, building a record you can bring to prescriber appointments. It is a tracking companion — it does not provide medical advice or replace your healthcare team.
