Group 7-day waking average?

I'm trying to see the positive...it's one of my new coping strategies!😛

I'm considering creating a fan club of sorts, only the opposite, "the Lantus lack of appreciation club", I'm using the tune from "Grandma we love you" with lyrics currently under consideration, but the first line is likely to be "Lantus, we hate you, oh yes we do". Once the lyrics are confirmed I'm going to recruit a gaggle of angelic children to do a stage performance, approximately half way through I'll burst on dressed in a cat suit, the tempo will go all rock and roll, and I'll do a death metal version of the chorus. I considered a devil costume (using the Lantus/lucifer connection, but I look better in black, and I've always harboured a secret desire to dress up as cat woman).
 
Oops forgot to say 4.9 this morning, by morning I mean the crack of dawn because naturally, enough Lantus to cover the afternoon means no sleep for this Kitty cat 🙄
 
I look forward to Youtubing the results KC! 🙂 6.1 for me today.

Will post the link when it's ready, then I thought I'd work on a promotional video for the forum, but I think east Coast rapper is more appropriate for that, so I thought I could go all Tupac on one of your poems, will probably need some bling though so just off to look on Amazon.....
 
Good morning and loving the idea Kooky!
6.4 today 🙂
 
Count me in Kooky! I fancy being cool and chic!
 
Morning all.🙂 9.6 here...but another overnight drop of only 1.6, so not completely unhappy! 😛

My diabetes theme tune is "Roll with it" by Steve Winwood - if I didn't have that attitude, I think I'd go insane.🙂

Good luck with the anti-Lantus campaign, ladies...rock that evil insulin dictator!
 
Good morning 6.5 for me🙂. Basal being a bit strange because I've not needing my extra gastroparesis insulin during the night....it might be because a) I'm not eating much b) the gastric emoting has been delayed until the morning. Something strange is definitely happening with regard to the gastroparesis because I'm dropping after my evening meal despite little bolus at the time of eating ie last night 6.5 before dinner at 7.30. 70g carb multi wave of 1 unit upfront and the rest on extended bolus of 6 hours. At 9 pm Bg post meal down to 4.9.
 
Good morning 🙂 4.0 for me today.

KookyC what a great idea, I'm thinking 'Lantus' - the musical, it could last for 18-24 hours.

"Lantus we hate you, oh yes we do
Whenever we are hypo, we always think of you"..
 
Morning, a more pleasing 5.5 today having knocked the Lantus down by two units once more 🙄

Lantus, the musical eh, I likes it, I likes it a lot. 18-24 hours is brilliant, it'll keep it exclusive, course I'd have to have peak performances every six hours, and maybe when I've reached Brighton on my tour of the Uk I could surprise the audience with a random oops no only 20 hours today. I could record a customer service announcement to play on a loop, something like "for reason unknown today's performance run will only last 20 hours, Those with tickets for the final performance should pick a day next week at random when the performance may or may not run for 26 hours." Once customer outrage has reached its peak, I can play message two "you have just experienced the joy of diabetes". Oh the possibilities :D
 
Good morning 🙂 3.5 to start Friday off. Going for scans today to see what the future holds for my legs, trying to be calm 😱

I had the same idea KookyC about Lantus the musical just tailing off after at a random time, I think it would be a real selling point. :D
 
Good morning all 6.7 today
I lubricated my vocal chords with icecream last night in readiness for rehearsals Apparently just a little too much!
 
Morning all.🙂 6.3 here - in range at last!😛

Best of luck with the scans, Flower. Got everything crossed for a positive result.🙂

As for the Lantus divas...LOL LOL LOL LOL...hilarious.:D
 
Good morning 🙂 5.7 for me today.

The Diabetes Fairy is signing up for the live auditions 🙂
 
Morning 4.7 again this morning, evil, evil Lantus 😡
 
Morning all.🙂 9.5 here (after a 3.30 am hypo).:confused: Yet another curve ball from Lantus!

Enjoy the weekend.😛
 
Good morning 🙂 4.0 for me today.

Scans done but I had cramp in my foot last night which is a challenge to deal with as my leg is in a cast! Thank you diabetes fairy for your interest :(
