  • Steady

    Viv24 Jan 2026flat energy 2

    Well then. No news. The dog is well, the weather has been foul, and I have taken my medication on the correct day for the eleventh week running. Quiet. Injection…

  • Nothing to report

    Winnie24 Jan 2026fine energy 4

    A gentle week, mostly. 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…

  • Awake at four

    Aleks23 Jan 2026tired energy 3

    Repeat study came back and the apnoea is much reduced. Ten years of that mask. Slept through. Whole night, no waking. It has been so long that I lay there in the…

  • I nearly did not write

    Linnet23 Jan 2026flat energy 3

    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. An unremarkable…

  • She noticed first

    Maeve23 Jan 2026held energy 4

    Well then. My buddy noticed something in my journal before I did and asked me a very gentle question about it. She had a bad week and I had a fine one, and next month…

  • A1c down

    Mina22 Jan 2026relieved energy 3turning point

    Late, and writing anyway. Everything stable. She said come back in a year. I have never had a come-back-in-a-year before. Stable. Her doctor said she could come back…

  • An hour on the floor

    Dev22 Jan 2026grateful energy 1turning point

    Recording this for the record. Swam. First time since school. Two lengths, badly, grinning. Ran 10k, having previously been unable to run for a bus. Tied my own laces…

  • A1c down

    Lu22 Jan 2026relieved energy 5turning point

    A1c down. I looked at the number for a long time and then rang my mother, which surprised us both. Fine. Bloods back. Unremarkable, she said, which is a word I had…

  • Circle tonight

    Marit22 Jan 2026warm energy 2

    This week: Circle tonight. Eight of us, an hour, and about eleven minutes of actual information. The rest was the point. Went for the practical answers and stayed for…

  • Eight minutes and a chair

    Nadia22 Jan 2026tired but good energy 4

    Walked instead of the bus all week. Not a programme. Just walking. Came back after a bad fortnight without trying to make up the lost ground, which is the thing that…

  • Quiet

    Oskar22 Jan 2026steady energy 1

    Notes for the week. 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.…

  • Circle tonight

    Ossian22 Jan 2026warm energy 3

    Somebody new tonight, terrified, exactly where I was in the spring. I said the thing that had been said to me and watched it land. Went for the practical answers and…

  • Iron and B12

    Tinuke22 Jan 2026relieved energy 2turning point

    Three years of results side by side. A trend rather than a moment, which is apparently the only thing worth looking at. A1c down. Everything stable. She said come…

  • A1c down

    Aleks21 Jan 2026relieved energy 1turning point

    Late, and writing anyway. Iron and B12 both low. Treated. The difference in a fortnight was not subtle. Improved. Everything stable. She said come back in a year. I…

  • Into town and back

    Dilly21 Jan 2026grateful energy 4

    Slept flat. Whole night. Flat. Full shift on my feet and my knees did not stop me. That has not happened in about four years. Busy Saturday.

  • Stayed for the company

    Dot21 Jan 2026warm energy 3

    Right. Went for the practical answers and stayed for the company, which I gather is what everybody does. Circle tonight. Eight of us, an hour, and about eleven…

  • Quiet

    Espe21 Jan 2026flat energy 1

    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. Steady. That is…

  • Come back in a year

    Maple21 Jan 2026pleased energy 1

    Sitting down to this properly tonight. A1c down. I looked at the number for a long time and then rang my mother, which surprised us both. Bloods back. Unremarkable,…

  • The arithmetic

    Obi21 Jan 2026pinched energy 1turning point

    Recording this for the record. Price went up mid-year and I had a very unglamorous evening with a calculator and a cup of tea. Price volatility and a difficult month.…

  • Iron and B12

    Ottoline21 Jan 2026relieved energy 2turning point

    Iron and B12 both low. Treated. The difference in a fortnight was not subtle. Stable. A1c down. I looked at the number for a long time and then rang my mother, which…

  • Where the pen lives

    Thea21 Jan 2026organised energy 4

    Small logistics win: worked out where the pen actually lives in a fridge shared with four other people and a toddler's yoghurts. Two lines a day in a paper diary.…

  • Awake at four

    Gwen20 Jan 2026foggy energy 4

    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. Waking at four again. Not anxious,…

  • Six labelled boxes

    Hannah20 Jan 2026organised energy 1

    Batch cooked on a good day for the bad days. Six labelled boxes in the freezer and a great deal of smugness. Two lines a day in a paper diary. Date, and one thing.…

  • Somebody new

    Nolan20 Jan 2026warm energy 2

    This week: Circle tonight. Eight of us, an hour, and about eleven minutes of actual information. The rest was the point. Went for the practical answers and stayed for…
