I suggest starting with QAS @ 800-298-4515. They can give you info on getting started. I have taken "Kroger One Daily Essential" for several years. It contains no vit K

Yes - QAS is probably the easiest way. You'll need to get a prescription from your doctor - but they'll fill you in on that.

Coach,
I went thru insurance. If you go thru insurance, they charge about 1k more. If you go self pay, you get about a 1k discount. This is thru QAS. There are other providers also, but they want you to "rent
" your machine. Also, believe it or not, there are machines on ebay and amazon, of course at self pay.

I would not recommend Ebay or Amazon. Of course your free to do whatever you want, but we only recognize Authorized Distributors.
