I nearly did not write
Junipersteady energy 1
Right. 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. Steady. That is…
Slept through
Lilfoggy energy 5
Waking at four again. Not anxious, just awake, lying there listening to the boiler. The sleep has changed shape rather than improved. Different, not better, and I…
Steady
Nettieflat energy 2
This week: Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. Nothing to report. Writing it down anyway, on the theory that a…
Sore and slow
Ossiansore energy 4
Late, and writing anyway. The nausea has a shape to it now. Thursday teatime it starts, Friday it peaks, Saturday afternoon it lifts. Once I could see the pattern it…
Anchored to the shifts
Ozzypleased energy 4turning point
Right. New sharps bin, and a plan for what happens to it when I move in September. Second summer, better solution, published. Small logistics win: worked out where…
Sunday night, four lines
Wilfheld energy 3
Nobody has ever asked me how I was doing on a Wednesday before. Paired up. We text on Sunday nights, four or five lines each, and it has quietly become the most…
A wedding
Dillyloved energy 5
Somebody asked what my secret was and I froze completely. Still working out what I want to say to that. Sunday lunch at my grandmother's. Small plate, long afternoon,…
An unremarkable week
Gwenfine energy 2
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,…
Come back in a year
Harripleased energy 4turning point
Notes for the week. Iron and B12 both low. Treated. The difference in a fortnight was not subtle. Improved. Three years of results side by side. A trend rather than a…
What is your secret
Markloved energy 2
Quickly, before bed. 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…
Two flights of stairs
Patrickquietly delighted energy 1
Late, and writing anyway. Up the stairs at work twice without stopping at the landing. I stood at the top for a second like an idiot. Nobody saw. It counted. Slept…
Flat, again
Lucasfrayed energy 5turning point
Right. Nothing. Eleven weeks of nothing. I know intellectually that nothing is not a failure, and I am finding that intellectual knowledge worth approximately nothing…
Iron and B12
Noahpleased energy 4turning point
Right. A1c down. I looked at the number for a long time and then rang my mother, which surprised us both. Out of the prediabetes range. Three years of results side by…
No news
Ephraimfine energy 2
Steady. That is the whole entry. Nothing to report. Writing it down anyway, on the theory that a journal made only of eventful weeks would give a false impression of…
Paired
Petuaheld energy 1
Late, and writing anyway. 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 on…
Sunday lunch
Romyloved energy 4
A quiet week. 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.…
What is your secret
Thealoved energy 4

Evening. 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 doing…

Week in order: 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. Nothing to…
A1c down
Larkpleased energy 5turning point
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. Fine. Bloods back.…
No news
Nadiafine energy 3
Steady. That is the whole entry. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. No news. The dog is well, the…
She read the diary
Ozzyfrustrated energy 4
Right. Took the diary in. She read it properly, which I had not expected, and changed the plan because of it. Asked the question I had been avoiding for eleven years.…
Three years side by side
Stellanpleased energy 4turning point
A1c down. I looked at the number for a long time and then rang my mother, which surprised us both. Improved. Iron and B12 both low. Treated. The difference in a…
Circle tonight
Maplewarm energy 5
Circle tonight. Eight of us, an hour, and about eleven minutes of actual information. The rest was the point. Somebody new tonight, terrified, exactly where I was in…
