  • I nearly did not write

    Maeve27 Feb 2026flat energy 5

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

  • Two sessions

    Stellan27 Feb 2026tired but good energy 5

    Kept the two sessions that matter and dropped the two that were vanity. Fewer, heavier, done. Two sessions this week, both short, both done. Ren keeps saying that two…

  • Where the pen lives

    Rowan26 Feb 2026organised energy 1

    This week: Anchored injection day to my shift pattern rather than to the calendar, which solved a problem I had been feeling guilty about for four months. Small…

  • Awake at four

    Nell26 Feb 2026tired energy 5

    Late, and writing anyway. Waking at four again. Not anxious, just awake, lying there listening to the boiler. Repeat study came back and the apnoea is much reduced.…

  • She noticed first

    Bram26 Feb 2026held energy 3

    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…

  • Quiet

    Marit26 Feb 2026steady energy 3

    This week: An unremarkable week. Ate, walked, worked, slept adequately. This is what most of it looks like. No news. The dog is well, the weather has been foul, and I…

  • Sunday lunch

    Petua26 Feb 2026awkward energy 1

    Short one tonight. 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.…

  • The question I had been avoiding

    Zeb26 Feb 2026heard energy 4

    Nine minutes. I took three written questions and got three answers, which is the best return I have ever had from an appointment. Asked the question I had been…

  • A printout I cannot read

    Dilly25 Feb 2026brisk energy 3

    She reduced one of my other medications. I asked her twice whether that was really allowed. Asked the question I had been avoiding for eleven years. She answered it…

  • Two years, no news

    Lil25 Feb 2026content energy 1

    Evening. Wednesdays are just Wednesdays now. Reduced to a maintenance dose. Same day, same fridge, less of it. Two years. My only news is that there is no news, and I…

  • Steady

    Nettie25 Feb 2026flat energy 5

    This week: 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. I…

  • Once, then never again

    Priya25 Feb 2026grateful energy 3turning point

    Sitting down to this properly tonight. Thank you to the person who replied to my first entry within an hour. You will not remember it. I do. Two years. Thanked people…

  • Anchored to the shifts

    Wilf25 Feb 2026organised energy 1

    New sharps bin, and a plan for what happens to it when I move in September. Tested three cool bags against a thermometer this weekend because I am that person.…

  • Nothing happened again

    Bel24 Feb 2026content energy 1turning point

    Wednesdays are just Wednesdays now. Steady. Nothing happened again. I am aware that is now the fourth month running I have written that, and I have decided it is the…

  • Three years side by side

    Marnie24 Feb 2026relieved energy 3turning point

    Late, and writing anyway. Bloods back. Unremarkable, she said, which is a word I had never once heard applied to me. Stable. A1c down. I looked at the number for a…

  • My mother cooks

    Ronan24 Feb 2026awkward energy 2

    This week: Sunday lunch at my grandmother's. Small plate, long afternoon, no drama, and she was happy. My mother cooks. That is how she says it. So I eat what I can,…

  • Where the pen lives

    Tarn24 Feb 2026organised energy 4

    This week: 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…

  • Quiet

    Tinuke24 Feb 2026flat energy 1

    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. Steady. That is…

  • Into town and back

    Bridie23 Feb 2026quietly delighted energy 5

    This week: Carried both bags up in one go. Small thing. Wrote it down. Slept flat. Whole night. Flat. Milking at six.

  • Iron and B12

    Espe23 Feb 2026relieved energy 5turning point

    Iron and B12 both low. Treated. The difference in a fortnight was not subtle. A1c down. Three years of results side by side. A trend rather than a moment, which is…

  • Two sessions

    Gwen23 Feb 2026tired but good energy 5

    Grip strength has gone off and I noticed it opening a jar before I noticed it anywhere else. Back to loading properly. Came back after a bad fortnight without trying…

  • A locum

    Nan23 Feb 2026heard energy 4

    Nine minutes. I took three written questions and got three answers, which is the best return I have ever had from an appointment. Left with a printout I could not…

  • Starters as a main

    Tansy23 Feb 2026loved energy 2

    Well then. 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 solved. Sunday lunch…

    Yannick23 Feb 2026relieved energy 4turning point

    Notes for the week. Bloods back. Unremarkable, she said, which is a word I had never once heard applied to me. Good. Three years of results side by side. A trend…
