Hi all,
Just a word to say that for the past 5 months I've been using the Coagucheck home testing kit and it's really good. Soooo much easier than having to lug myself down to the blood clinic. Keeping the INR in range has always been a bit of a challenge for me. I'm on 11 and 12mg (alternating) of Warfarin and my INR hovers around 2.1ish despite the relatively high dose. Thankfully I have an On-X valve.. The big no-no for me is chickpeas, this just hammers my INR because of the Vit K content...!! But I'd recommend the Coagucheck system; it's great once you get the hang of it. Best regards
