Hey all!
It appears that the fictional diabetes rock band, Blunt Lancet, has made headlines over at Diabetes Mine today. And I got a mention! :)

And apparently, there's actual merch you can buy now - I'm stunned. (And totally ordering a shirt!)

hooooooooooooly craaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaap!
so excited!!
The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.
So this is or isn't a real band? And how was a lady who wasn't even in the "band" able to profit from merch for the "band"? Just curious.
Hi acousticmelo,
As I mentioned above, it's a fictional band - meaning that, no, it's not real. (It's much like Spinal Tap - if you're not sure what that is, Wikipedia can help you out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/This_Is_Spinal_Tap). And there are no profits - as you'll see in the article, the proceeds go to the Diabetes Hands Foundation. I'm not sure which "lady" you're referring to.
Hilariousssssssss

Better yet, watch the movie. Kim, do your amps go to 11 also?
Yes, and our lancing devices click up to 11, too! :D
hahaha. That is so funny!

Kimface, have you ever had your head examined to see what exactly is rattling around in there to make you come up with these ideas? Seriously you got merch on your fictitious band. How are sales going btw? And will there be total sportage in Florida? I think I may have to buy a messenger bag or something just to wear. You can have an unofficial Blunt Lancent Day or something.

Brian - There are plenty of things wrong with me besides my pancreatic function - I've never claimed otherwise. ;) And the merch thing was totally not my idea - that was all Kelly Rawlings (editor of Diabetic Living magazine, and fellow T1)! We totally need to have a Blunt Lancet day in Orlando!
should we make d-coaster day also blunt lancet day? i'm thinking so...
