Not a number
Carldelighted energy 3turning point
This week: Not a number. A thing I can do now that I could not do, and I am going to describe it in detail because that is the only kind of record I want to keep. Off…
A1c down
Gigirelieved energy 3turning point
A1c down. I looked at the number for a long time and then rang my mother, which surprised us both. A1c down. Everything stable. She said come back in a year. I have…
Nothing happened again
Hattieflat energy 3turning point
Late, and writing anyway. Wednesdays are just Wednesdays now. Steady. Nothing happened again. I am aware that is now the fourth month running I have written that, and…
A1c down
Minnierelieved energy 2turning point
This week: Bloods back. Unremarkable, she said, which is a word I had never once heard applied to me. Both stable. A1c down. I looked at the number for a long time…
A1c down
Tildarelieved energy 3turning point
Week in order: Three years of results side by side. A trend rather than a moment, which is apparently the only thing worth looking at. Cholesterol improved. Bloods…
Thank you
Annikagrateful energy 4turning point
Late, and writing anyway. I am not a person who writes things like this, so I am going to write it once and then go back to being unsentimental. Eighteen months.…
Protein first
Belsteady energy 1
Greek yoghurt, eggs, and the limits of both. I have reached the limits of both. I have found five things I can get down when nothing appeals and I have written them…
Sunday night, four lines
Kaiheld energy 5turning point
Paired up. We text on Sunday nights, four or five lines each, and it has quietly become the most reliable thing in my week. Paired with bly_b. They check in on…
No project
Patricksettled energy 4turning point
Late, and writing anyway. Reduced to a maintenance dose. Same day, same fridge, less of it. Steady, teaching, pacing. Two years. My only news is that there is no…
Come back in a year
Ronanrelieved energy 5turning point
This week: Three years of results side by side. A trend rather than a moment, which is apparently the only thing worth looking at. Improved. A1c down. I looked at the…
Protein first
Stefansteady energy 5
Recording this for the record. I have found five things I can get down when nothing appeals and I have written them on the fridge. That list is the most useful thing…
I nearly did not write
Zoëflat energy 5
Ten minutes then I am asleep. 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…
Nothing happened again
Hollyflat energy 2turning point
Wednesdays are just Wednesdays now. Steady, sleeping, gardening again. Nothing happened again. I am aware that is now the fourth month running I have written that,…
Across the day
Nadiasteady energy 3
Three things this week. I have found five things I can get down when nothing appeals and I have written them on the fridge. That list is the most useful thing I own.…
Across the day
Nolansteady energy 3
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 own answer. Protein first,…
No news
Patrickfine energy 3
Short one tonight. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. Nothing to report. Writing it down anyway, on the…
The question I had been avoiding
Cassfrustrated energy 5
Took the diary in. She read it properly, which I had not expected, and changed the plan because of it. Nine minutes. I took three written questions and got three…
Sunday lunch
Espeloved energy 2
Evening. Sunday lunch at my grandmother's. Small plate, long afternoon, no drama, and she was happy. My mother cooks. That is how she says it. So I eat what I can,…
She reduced it
Minniefrustrated energy 5
She reduced one of my other medications. I asked her twice whether that was really allowed. Nine minutes. I took three written questions and got three answers, which…
Sunday night, four lines
Marthaheld energy 2
A brief account of the 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…
Weather, not a verdict
Theafrayed energy 4turning point
A brief account of the week. Three months of no change and my blood pressure has come down anyway. Two things can be true at once and I keep having to relearn that.…
Once, then never again
Junofull energy 1turning point
Right. Thank you to the person who replied to my first entry within an hour. You will not remember it. I do. A grudging, funny, genuinely moving entry at sixteen…
Before nine
Maplesteady energy 3
A gentle week, mostly. 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 own…
Wrote it on the milestones page
Nanproud, quietly energy 5turning point
I have been waiting to write this entry for about fourteen months. Danced at a wedding. Not a number. A thing I can do now that I could not do, and I am going to…
