Continuous metabolic monitoring dashboard for cardiovascular risk — I track everything in a spreadsheet and here's the month-over-month trend for my key markers:
Weight: consistent downtrend, -2.2 lbs/week average
Fasting glucose (finger stick): stable at 83 mg/dL
Blood pressure (home): 117/73 average
Resting heart rate: 63 bpm (down from 79)
Waist circumference: down 13 inches total
The resting heart rate improvement correlates with cardiovascular fitness gains. Everything is moving in the right direction.

Positive "side effect" of cardiovascular risk: my blood pressure dropped so much that I'm now off losartan entirely! My cardiologist is thrilled.
If you're on BP meds and losing weight on a GLP-1, monitor your BP at home regularly. Hypotension symptoms (dizziness, lightheadedness when standing) mean your BP meds may need reduction. Don't wait for your next scheduled appointment — call your doctor.
