[QUOTE="An nag, post: 373844, member: 67617"] Hi all I am gate crashing this site as my son is not diabetic but I need some advice and help urgently and decided this would be the best place for it! My son is on warfarin due to a cardiac condition and needs regular finger pricks to test his INR but we are not able to do them as he screams down the hospital at the sight of the nurse who does them . My husband is up for holding him down and forcing him on Monday when he has his next finger prick but I want to just tackle it a bit more realistically, especially as this is a long term thing. So my questions are 1) how do I get him to cooperate? 2) what is the best lancet - looking around American forums this makes a difference but the recommended one doesn't seem to be available in the UK 3) do I need to buy anything else to put the lancet in or is it a self contained unit? 4) can I sort all this before Monday morning? Thank you and I hope you don't mind me gate crashing your website but the heart association one doesn't have much on this. Thanks in advance for any advice Anna [/QUOTE]
