ReconstitutionMixing a freeze-dried (lyophilized) peptide with a sterile liquid to prepare it for use.Read definition
Bacteriostatic Water (BAC Water)Sterile water with a preservative, commonly used to reconstitute peptides.Read definition
VialThe small bottle a peptide comes in; its contents and size feed the dosing math.Read definition
ConcentrationHow much peptide is present per unit of liquid (e.g., mg per mL) after reconstitution.Read definition
DoseThe amount of an item recorded for a single scheduled administration.Read definition
Units of Measure (mcg, mg, mL)The units used across the app: micrograms, milligrams, and milliliters.Read definition
Syringe Units (Insulin Units)The tick marks on an insulin syringe (100 units = 1 mL) used to measure a draw.Read definition
Reconstitution CalculatorThe built-in tool that turns vial amount, water added, and dose into syringe units.Read definition
TitrationAdjusting an amount gradually over time, as directed by a provider.Read definition
Administration
Subcutaneous InjectionAn injection into the layer of tissue just under the skin.Read definition
Intramuscular InjectionAn injection delivered into a muscle.Read definition
Injection Site RotationVarying where injections are given, tracked by logging each site.Read definition
Dose Log (Administration)A recorded event that an item was taken, skipped, delayed, or missed.Read definition
Scheduling & reminders
Schedule & FrequencyHow often an item is due: daily, every other day, specific days, or a custom cycle.Read definition
Cycle (On/Off)A repeating pattern of “on” days followed by “off” days.Read definition
ReminderA local device notification for a due dose, refill, or expiration.Read definition
Inventory & Refill RemindersThe remaining amount of an item, with reminders before you run out or it expires.Read definition
Progress & tracking
AdherenceHow closely your actual logs match your schedule, shown as a percentage and trend.Read definition
StreakA run of consecutive scheduled doses you logged as taken on time.Read definition
Side Effect & Symptom LogOptional notes about side effects or symptoms attached to a dose.Read definition
Measurement & Check-inPeriodic self-recorded values (e.g., weight) and notes to track progress.Read definition
