This week:

Bloods back. Unremarkable, she said, which is a word I had never once heard applied to me.

Both stable.

A1c down. I looked at the number for a long time and then rang my mother, which surprised us both.

Three years of results side by side. A trend rather than a moment, which is apparently the only thing worth looking at.

Iron and B12 both low. Treated. The difference in a fortnight was not subtle.

Bloods in six weeks.

My pharmacist caught something similar for me. They are the most underused people in the whole system.

Thank you for saying the hard part out loud. It makes it easier for the rest of us to.

No wisdom, just: I am sorry. That sounds genuinely hard.

I have read your journal from the start this week. You have come a very long way and you are allowed to notice that.
