A1c down
Lucaspleased energy 4
A1c down. I looked at the number for a long time and then rang my mother, which surprised us both. Everything stable. She said come back in a year. I have never had a…
An unremarkable week
Noahfine energy 3
Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. I nearly did not write this week because there was nothing in it. Then I…
No news
Florriesteady energy 4
I nearly did not write this week because there was nothing in it. Then I thought about how much I have got out of other people's boring weeks. Nothing to report.…
Slept through
Iketired energy 5
Waking at four again. Not anxious, just awake, lying there listening to the boiler. Vivid dreams, every night, the sort you have to sit up and shake off. Two other…
Protein first
Moraysteady energy 4
Got something with protein in before nine this morning, which meant the rest of the day did not fall apart at four. Greek yoghurt, eggs, and the limits of both. I…
Sunday lunch
Norahwarm energy 1
A wedding. Three courses I could not face, a table of people who noticed, and a very kind waiter who boxed it up without saying a word. My mother cooks. That is how…
I nearly did not write
Pippafine energy 5
A gentle week, mostly. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. No news. The dog is well, the weather has been foul, and…
No news
Sadiefine energy 5
Steady. That is the whole entry. I nearly did not write this week because there was nothing in it. Then I thought about how much I have got out of other people's…
Quiet
Tildaflat energy 3
Three things this week. Nothing to report. Writing it down anyway, on the theory that a journal made only of eventful weeks would give a false impression of the whole…
What is your secret
Annawarm energy 3
A wedding. Three courses I could not face, a table of people who noticed, and a very kind waiter who boxed it up without saying a word. Somebody asked what my secret…
Circle tonight
Abelwarm energy 2
A brief account of the week. Went for the practical answers and stayed for the company, which I gather is what everybody does. The facilitator stopped the room when…
Flat, whole night
Brunopleased energy 2
Tied my own laces standing up. I am aware of how that sounds and I do not care. Carried both bags up in one go. Small thing. Wrote it down. Got down on the floor and…
She reduced it
Flossieheard energy 3
Evening. Asked the question I had been avoiding for eleven years. She answered it in about ninety seconds and was completely unbothered. Nine minutes. I took three…
Nothing to report
Huwsteady energy 1
This week: Nothing to report. Writing it down anyway, on the theory that a journal made only of eventful weeks would give a false impression of the whole thing.…
The quiet
Junounsettled energy 2turning point
Went past the shop I always go into and simply did not go in. Not resisted. Did not occur to me. I stood outside for a moment afterwards trying to work out what had…
Two sessions
Nansteady energy 1turning point
Two sessions this week, both short, both done. Ren keeps saying that two a week for two years beats a perfect programme abandoned in March, and he is annoyingly…
A different shape
Ottolinerested energy 2
A brief account of the week. Vivid dreams, every night, the sort you have to sit up and shake off. Two other people in circle have the same and none of us can find…
Where the pen lives
Romyorganised energy 3
Anchored injection day to my shift pattern rather than to the calendar, which solved a problem I had been feeling guilty about for four months. Two lines a day in a…
Before nine
Ruthiesteady energy 1
A brief account of the week. Was undereating without realising. The nurse asked a plain question about what I had actually eaten in the last two days and I heard my…
A plain question
Sorrelsteady energy 4
This week: Protein first, everything else after. It is not interesting advice and it is the only advice that has changed anything. Got something with protein in…
She noticed first
Tedheld energy 5
This week: She had a bad week and I had a fine one, and next month it will be the other way round. That is the whole mechanism. Nobody has ever asked me how I was…
Eight minutes and a chair
Theatired but good energy 1
A brief account of the week. Came back after a bad fortnight without trying to make up the lost ground, which is the thing that used to end it for me every time. Kept…
Dreams
Vivtired energy 1
Well then. Slept through. Whole night, no waking. It has been so long that I lay there in the morning trying to work out what was different. The sleep has changed…
Iron and B12
Lucasrelieved energy 1turning point
Right. A1c down. I looked at the number for a long time and then rang my mother, which surprised us both. A1c down and his cardiologist unbent slightly. Everything…
