  • Walking

    Zoë20 Oct 2025tired but good energy 1

    Quickly, before bed. Eight minutes and a chair. That is the whole programme. Tuesday and Friday. I have done it for eleven weeks. Grip strength has gone off and I…

  • She noticed first

    Lucas19 Oct 2025held energy 2

    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 on a…

  • Three cool bags and a thermometer

    Aleks19 Oct 2025organised energy 3

    A quiet week. Tested three cool bags against a thermometer this weekend because I am that person. Results written up for the travel circle. New sharps bin, and a plan…

  • The question I had been avoiding

    Cass19 Oct 2025frustrated energy 5

    Recording this for the record. Asked the question I had been avoiding for eleven years. She answered it in about ninety seconds and was completely unbothered. Took…

  • I nearly did not write

    Odile19 Oct 2025steady energy 1

    Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. Steady. That is the whole entry. Bonne soirée.

  • Dreams

    Wystan19 Oct 2025tired energy 3

    Sitting down to this properly tonight. The sleep has changed shape rather than improved. Different, not better, and I cannot yet tell whether I mind. Repeat study…

  • Sunday night, four lines

    Zeb19 Oct 2025held energy 4

    Week in order: 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…

  • The second one is easier

    Poppy18 Oct 2025low energy 5turning point

    Quickly, before bed. The plateau has been going on longer than the part before the plateau. That is an odd thing to sit with. Five flat months during which she…

  • Iron and B12

    Abel18 Oct 2025pleased energy 5turning point

    A brief account of the week. Three years of results side by side. A trend rather than a moment, which is apparently the only thing worth looking at. A1c down…

  • Somebody new

    Aria18 Oct 2025warm energy 4

    Week in order: 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. The facilitator…

  • Quiet

    Bridie18 Oct 2025flat energy 2

    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. Quiet. Injection…

  • Unremarkable

    Mo18 Oct 2025pleased energy 2turning point

    Week in order: A1c down. I looked at the number for a long time and then rang my mother, which surprised us both. A1c and lipids both improved. Everything stable. She…

  • Back without making it up

    Patrick18 Oct 2025tired but good energy 3

    Late, and writing anyway. Two sessions this week, both short, both done. Ren keeps saying that two a week for two years beats a perfect programme abandoned in March,…

  • Quiet

    Tilda18 Oct 2025fine energy 3

    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…

  • A different shape

    Ash17 Oct 2025rested energy 3

    Well then. The sleep has changed shape rather than improved. Different, not better, and I cannot yet tell whether I mind. Waking at four again. Not anxious, just…

  • Off the floor

    Kai17 Oct 2025grateful energy 3turning point

    Sitting down to this properly tonight. Got down on the floor and back up again unaided. I have not been able to do that since 2021 and I did it twice more just to…

  • An unremarkable week

    Lil17 Oct 2025steady energy 4

    Evening. 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. Steady. That is the…

  • My mother cooks

    Nadia17 Oct 2025loved energy 4

    Week in order: Somebody asked what my secret was and I froze completely. Still working out what I want to say to that. My mother cooks. That is how she says it. So I…

  • A plain question

    Tam17 Oct 2025steady energy 1turning point

    Three things this week. Greek yoghurt, eggs, and the limits of both. I have reached the limits of both. Adjusted everything post-surgery and reported it. Was…

  • I nearly did not write

    Ammi16 Oct 2025fine energy 1

    A quiet week. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. I nearly did not write this week because there was nothing in it.…

  • Somebody new

    Calla16 Oct 2025warm energy 4

    Late, and writing anyway. 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. The…

  • A printout I cannot read

    Carl16 Oct 2025heard energy 4turning point

    This week: Left with a printout I could not read and no idea what to be worried about. Taking it to bloodwork-buddies on Thursday. Podiatry review: sensation…

  • Paired

    Clover16 Oct 2025held energy 4

    Paired up. We text on Sunday nights, four or five lines each, and it has quietly become the most reliable thing in my week. She had a bad week and I had a fine one,…

  • Starters as a main

    Ephraim16 Oct 2025loved energy 3

    A brief account of the 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…
