Hi everyone,
Had a MVR back in March - have been home testing with an InRatio machine and have had no problems - I get my INR tested at a lab once a month as a back up to the machine and so far the results have been very similiar.
My problem is this: I test once a week at home and tonight I got a reading of 6.2!! I was suspicious of this as there seemed no reason behind it so I tested again straight away. This time I got a reading of 4.8!! The only difference between the tests was a different finger and a new box of strips. (Just coincidence I was up to a new box). Since both tests are over I am reducing my dosage for the next couple of days - and will go to the lab on Friday to get a test there as a back up. Has anyone had this happen to them? It makes me wary of home testing now with such a big difference on the two tests....![Eek! :eek: :eek:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
