  • The second one is easier

    Gil23 Nov 2025frayed energy 2turning point

    Second plateau, and it is easier than the first, mostly because I have been here and come out the other side without doing anything clever. Flat, analysed. Flat…

  • She stopped the room

    Inês23 Nov 2025warm energy 3

    Late, and writing anyway. 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…

  • A1c down

    Norah23 Nov 2025relieved 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. Fine. Iron and B12 both low. Treated. The…

  • How are you doing on a Wednesday

    Sadie23 Nov 2025held energy 4

    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…

    Wystan23 Nov 2025warm energy 1

  • Into town and back

    Clover22 Nov 2025quietly delighted energy 4turning point

    Evening. Slept flat. Whole night. Flat. Threw for six hours without her wrists going. Carried both bags up in one go. Small thing. Wrote it down. Sat on the floor and…

  • Quiet

    Col22 Nov 2025flat energy 5

    Quickly, before bed. 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.…

    Nix22 Nov 2025flat energy 3

    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 report. Writing it…

  • Two lines a day

    Prue22 Nov 2025organised energy 1

    Batch cooked on a good day for the bad days. Six labelled boxes in the freezer and a great deal of smugness. New sharps bin, and a plan for what happens to it when I…

  • Two lines a day

    Ronan22 Nov 2025organised energy 2

    Tested three cool bags against a thermometer this weekend because I am that person. Results written up for the travel circle. Batch cooked on a good day for the bad…

  • Steady

    Tavia22 Nov 2025fine energy 4

    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 people's…

  • A locum

    Bel21 Nov 2025frustrated energy 5

    Short one tonight. 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. Asked the question I had…

  • She stopped the room

    Gwyneth21 Nov 2025warm energy 1

    This week: Went for the practical answers and stayed for the company, which I gather is what everybody does. The facilitator stopped the room when four of us were…

  • She stopped the room

    Maeve21 Nov 2025warm energy 4

    Well then. 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…

  • She read the diary

    Saoirse21 Nov 2025brisk energy 1

    A gentle week, mostly. 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 who…

  • Nine minutes

    Tilda21 Nov 2025brisk energy 5

    Three things this week. Asked the question I had been avoiding for eleven years. She answered it in about ninety seconds and was completely unbothered. Left with a…

  • The shame was the worst of it

    Zoë21 Nov 2025nervous energy 1turning point

    Ten minutes then I am asleep. Starting from the bottom again, which my prescriber was firm about and which I am now grateful for. Restarted when she picked up more…

  • Three cool bags and a thermometer

    Bex20 Nov 2025organised energy 5turning point

    Ten minutes then I am asleep. Batch cooked on a good day for the bad days. Six labelled boxes in the freezer and a great deal of smugness. Second move. Much smoother.…

  • Nothing to report

    Ephraim20 Nov 2025steady energy 1

    A brief account of the week. 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…

  • Unremarkable

    Huw20 Nov 2025relieved energy 3turning point

    This week: Bloods back. Unremarkable, she said, which is a word I had never once heard applied to me. A1c down. Three years of results side by side. A trend rather…

  • A locum

    Juno20 Nov 2025brisk energy 1

    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…

  • A1c down

    Petua20 Nov 2025relieved energy 5

    A quiet week. Iron and B12 both low. Treated. The difference in a fortnight was not subtle. Bloods back. Unremarkable, she said, which is a word I had never once…

  • Nothing to report

    Romy20 Nov 2025steady energy 2

    Short one tonight. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. No news. The dog is well, the weather has been foul, and I…
