Iron and B12
Heddarelieved energy 1turning point
Notes for the week. Iron and B12 both low. Treated. The difference in a fortnight was not subtle. A1c down. Three years of results side by side. A trend rather than a…

Late, and writing anyway. 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.…
Six labelled boxes

Two sessions

No mask

The list on the fridge

Greek yoghurt, eggs, and the limits of both. I have reached the limits of both. Was undereating without realising. The nurse asked a plain question about what I had…
