Unremarkable
Pamrelieved energy 3turning point
Everything stable. She said come back in a year. I have never had a come-back-in-a-year before. Stable. Iron and B12 both low. Treated. The difference in a fortnight…
A wedding
Tansywarm energy 1
My mother cooks. That is how she says it. So I eat what I can, slowly, and I say thank you, and we manage. It is not a problem to be solved. Sunday lunch at my…
Protein first
Taviasteady energy 2
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. Protein first,…
I nearly did not write
Zebfine energy 5
Week in order: 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.…
Walking
Lucastired but good energy 3
Right. Walked instead of the bus all week. Not a programme. Just walking. Eight minutes and a chair. That is the whole programme. Tuesday and Friday. I have done it…
A1c down
Rohanrelieved energy 4turning point
Everything stable. She said come back in a year. I have never had a come-back-in-a-year before. Out of the prediabetes range. Three years of results side by side. A…
The overdue conversation
Rowanpinched energy 2
Price went up mid-year and I had a very unglamorous evening with a calculator and a cup of tea. What this has displaced in the budget: the car being fixed, and a…
A new bin and a plan
Dotorganised energy 3
Well then. Tested three cool bags against a thermometer this weekend because I am that person. Results written up for the travel circle. Anchored injection day to my…
Starters as a main
Huwloved energy 4
This week: My mother cooks. That is how she says it. So I eat what I can, slowly, and I say thank you, and we manage. It is not a problem to be solved. A wedding.…
Slept through
Kaitired energy 4
A gentle week, mostly. 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 anything…
She read the diary
Maplefrustrated energy 3
A locum who had clearly read nothing. I was polite, I got what I needed, and I have booked with my own GP for next month. Left with a printout I could not read and no…
Nine minutes
Ossianbrisk energy 4
A quiet week. Took the diary in. She read it properly, which I had not expected, and changed the plan because of it. She reduced one of my other medications. I asked…
Nine minutes
Pambrisk energy 5
A brief account of the week. Nine minutes. I took three written questions and got three answers, which is the best return I have ever had from an appointment. A locum…

An unremarkable week
Junofine energy 5
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. An unremarkable week. Ate,…
The limits of yoghurt
Nolansteady energy 2
This week: Protein first, everything else after. It is not interesting advice and it is the only advice that has changed anything. Was undereating without realising.…
She noticed first
Sadieheld energy 2
Ten minutes then I am asleep. 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. Paired up. We text…
She stopped the room
Soniawarm energy 1turning point
Went for the practical answers and stayed for the company, which I gather is what everybody does. Dining-out circle, where she is enormously useful. The facilitator…
My mother cooks
Abelawkward energy 3
Sunday lunch at my grandmother's. Small plate, long afternoon, no drama, and she was happy. Somebody asked what my secret was and I froze completely. Still working…
A locum
Ariaheard energy 2
Three things this week. A locum who had clearly read nothing. I was polite, I got what I needed, and I have booked with my own GP for next month. Nine minutes. I took…
A locum
Bodhifrustrated energy 3
A gentle week, mostly. She reduced one of my other medications. I asked her twice whether that was really allowed. Left with a printout I could not read and no idea…
How are you doing on a Wednesday
Callaheld energy 2
Late, and writing anyway. Paired up. We text on Sunday nights, four or five lines each, and it has quietly become the most reliable thing in my week. Nobody has ever…
Nothing to report
Carlsteady energy 3
This week: 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…
Paired
Espeheld energy 5
Nobody has ever asked me how I was doing on a Wednesday before. She had a bad week and I had a fine one, and next month it will be the other way round. That is the…
