I trust in my machine and feel confidence in being able to test at home every 7-10 days. I indulge in a great Ceasar Salad if I'm a bit high..otherwise eat Iceberg...hmmm..it's just ok. I tested at 3.7 yesterday, so I even ate a sprig of Broccoli..lol!
I also go to my Lab every 6-7 weeks so my Doc will receive the report. He knows I home test and is in favor of it, so I only do the Lab as an extra precaution and assurance to him and me. My insurance pays zero for my unit and supplies, even tho I have an excellent Blue Shield PPO policy thru my hospital job. The venous draw doesn't bother me at all as we have an expert in our Lab..he knows my tiny veins.
I have had excellent results thus far and wish the same for everyone. I agree that you must trust your mode of testing and not try to get multiple tests in multiple ways/labs to match exactly. I think this causes over reactions/anxiety and skepticism where it may not be needed.
Ross, I hope your INR settles down..it will in time, I'm sure. Everyone that is over-anxious...please chill...lol...and have confidence in your chosen method. What suits one does not suit all..go with what you and your Doc are comfortable with.
