Not everyone can diet the same as you. And I am type 2 diabetic also, but no restrictions on my normal diet. I still nibble a bit but use portion control on sweets and what I eat at mealtime.

You are being very argumentive, for I have been on warfarin for 22 years and counting. I have been more helpful on knowing the dosages and they come on 1 mg to 10 ng. Please realize that many of us have been dosing for many years here and know what we are talking about. And I do not take 4 mg...

And they make from 1mg to 10mg and you are dosed according the Protime or INR results. People like some doctors are not very well educated on the dosages available. I take 5mg 4 days a week and split the five to 2.5 the other three days of the week. Sometimes I hit the target and sometimes not.

Covid has been related to Heart issues and awaken Diabetes. Most of the heart issues have been Heart murmur. I feel it woke the genes of those people that would have had those issues eventually, but for triggered by the covid virus. And not the vaccine. Many follow the fake misinformation from...

Good that you are making life changes, for it helps the heart and the body in losing the weight and having a regular exercise routine. When you do changes, INR will change with it till you system adjusts. When I start doing more exercise or movement, INR goes up. I have to watch it when taking...

And does Medicare cover the strips used, or the Medicare Advantage medicine coverage?

My murmur was heard before birth, as they thought I was going to be twins. Back in the 1960's. And there are heart issues that was never checked for that they are checking kids nowadays. Needs work but they are doing better.

I have had to change providers at the teaching school hospital I go to know. I have a regular Nurse Practioner that does her part, and the Cardio comes in to look over Echo results. I get those done once to twice a year. Right now, they are watching my mitral valve calcification progress. And...

I had several of them in my life. Also no problem. And I had to stay still for three hours after my last one in 2001. Like it better than staying in the hospital overnight.
