Shooting range ...

If you have to mash that drop of blood right on it, do it!

I call into the help line. Most of our problems concern high INRs due to medications. The service is most helpful. When I have asked for more strips to replace those lost, they have been very generous.

Next time you lose a box, get one for me too.

My range is 3.0 to 4.0 because I have two of the mechanical ones.

I hear you Ross. I'm new to this. Today I had my PTRatio phone training at home today. Took four stabs, some good blood loss and three test strips to get a reading. Just kept missing that little hole with the green light. Came out 2.0 and I used the service by QAS to record and call in the reading. The service works great and my doc called me to let me know he is still holding me at 5mg. Well see what happens next week when I make my office visit.

Hope I get the hang of hitting the target or I'm going to go broke real quick with the test strips. In any case I like this new toy and it will be a time saver for sure.

Thanks...

I get a good drop of blood hanging a bit and then just touch the drop to the green dot/well. I don't touch it with my finger. But just touching the drop to it gets the drop to release on to the dot. I know they tell you to let it drop it, but let's get real.

My cardio has the INRatio too and when I was in last week, that's what the RN did too.
