Sitting down to this properly tonight.

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

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.

Grateful. Odd, that.

Would you be willing to say more about how you raised it? I have an appointment on the 14th and I keep losing my nerve.

Bookmarking. This is the clearest description of a plateau I have read anywhere.

Please do take that to your GP rather than waiting for the next review. Not to frighten you — just, go.
