  • Come back in a year

    Rowan9 Aug 2025relieved energy 5turning point

    This 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, feet checked, first…

  • Circle tonight

    Ash9 Aug 2025warm energy 4

    Well then. The facilitator stopped the room when four of us were talking at once and asked one person how she was actually doing. It changed the whole hour. Went for…

  • She noticed first

    Bram9 Aug 2025held energy 5

    Well then. 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…

  • Nine minutes

    Ephraim9 Aug 2025brisk energy 3

    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 her twice…

  • No mask

    Héloïse9 Aug 2025tired energy 4

    Waking at four again. Not anxious, just awake, lying there listening to the boiler. Repeat study came back and the apnoea is much reduced. Ten years of that mask.…

  • Nothing to report

    Lil9 Aug 2025fine energy 3

    Steady. That is the whole entry. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. Off to ring Lu.

  • Both bags, one go

    Marnie9 Aug 2025grateful energy 5turning point

    Late, and writing anyway. Slept flat. Whole night. Flat. Slept through the night for a fortnight running. Walked into town and back, which I stopped doing years ago…

  • Awake at four

    Pippa9 Aug 2025tired energy 4

    A gentle week, mostly. 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. Vivid dreams,…

  • Across the day

    Rilla9 Aug 2025steady energy 4

    Spread it across the day instead of trying to do it all at teatime and everything got easier. I have found five things I can get down when nothing appeals and I have…

  • No mask

    Stellan9 Aug 2025foggy energy 3

    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,…

  • Dreams

    Tarn9 Aug 2025foggy energy 2

    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. Vivid dreams, every night, the sort…

  • Stayed for the company

    Annika8 Aug 2025warm energy 2

    Short one tonight. 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. Circle tonight.…

  • Stayed for the company

    Calla8 Aug 2025warm energy 5

    Short one tonight. Went for the practical answers and stayed for the company, which I gather is what everybody does. Somebody new tonight, terrified, exactly where I…

  • Two sessions

    Huw8 Aug 2025tired but good energy 2

    Kept the two sessions that matter and dropped the two that were vanity. Fewer, heavier, done. Came back after a bad fortnight without trying to make up the lost…

  • I nearly did not write

    Mo8 Aug 2025fine energy 5

    Three things this week. Quiet. Injection Tuesday, mild Wednesday, fine by Thursday, and then a normal weekend. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept…

  • Three cool bags and a thermometer

    Nadia8 Aug 2025organised energy 1

    New sharps bin, and a plan for what happens to it when I move in September. Two lines a day in a paper diary. Date, and one thing. That is the entire system and it…

  • The limits of yoghurt

    Obi8 Aug 2025steady energy 3

    Recording this for the record. 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…

  • The list on the fridge

    Romy8 Aug 2025steady energy 1

    A quiet week. Greek yoghurt, eggs, and the limits of both. I have reached the limits of both. Was undereating without realising. The nurse asked a plain question…

  • An unremarkable week

    Sadie8 Aug 2025flat energy 2

    Quickly, before bed. An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. Nothing to report. Writing it down anyway, on…

  • A different shape

    Lucas7 Aug 2025rested energy 3

    Well then. Waking at four again. Not anxious, just awake, lying there listening to the boiler. Slept through. Whole night, no waking. It has been so long that I lay…

  • Both bags, one go

    Rohan7 Aug 2025quietly delighted energy 5turning point

    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 check. Half marathon personal best, which…

  • Where the pen lives

    Birdie7 Aug 2025organised energy 1

    Evening. New sharps bin, and a plan for what happens to it when I move in September. Anchored injection day to my shift pattern rather than to the calendar, which…
