Next year, after my bennies reset, I will investigate getting a unit/strips on my own (thanks). I was under the impression it was like $2000 though? That was about what Alere wanted to charge me when they said they wouldn't take my insurance. I assumed that was the cost of a unit. I have no idea how much any of this costs other than that.....right now it is all free for me.....
P.S. The idiot nurse in the doctor office once again left me a message that my last INR is good and that "I should test again in 2 weeks". This after I already went through long story with the doc to try to explain that THEY ENROLLED ME IN A WEEKLY TESTING SERVICE AND THAT IF I GO TO 2 WEEKS THEN I AM IN VIOLATION OF THE PROTOCOL AND HAVE TO RETURN EVERYTHING ETC. Sigh. I am just going to continue every week, as I already told the doctor, for now.
