Week in order:

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

First quarterly panel. Explained reference ranges to the whole circle.

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

Everything stable. She said come back in a year. I have never had a come-back-in-a-year before.

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

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

Next review: Sunday.

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

This is the second time this week somebody has described that and I am now going to mention it at my own review.
