Well, wife still cooks most of our food, have never used alcohol and medication has been the same for years... My dosage changes were few for the first 7 years after AVR.
Worried about time left inbetween Tests!

You can do as you like, but that is too close to too low for me. I'd bump up at least 5% for the week.
Agree ... I seem to be one who goes up instead of down so I don’t get very concerned ... my last test was 5.1 the nurse seemed quite worried ... I told her I had to get to to work and would skip a dose ... being in the low 2’s would worry me....
Me too....especially if testing every two months.
2.0 is not a good spot to hang around for long....maybe for one week, but not more than that.
Agreeing with others, a 5 % increase is safe and conservative.
(Take 7mg on 2 days of the week.)
Best wishes.
