Brief Answer:
Overall Good control.

Detailed Answer:
Hello, Sir.

I can certainly understand your concerns.

I apologize for the delayed response owing to my work schedule.

I have worked through your query in detail.

You are so far rightly treated with arixtra.

It is important to maintain the INR within 2 to 3 .

The dose can be adjusted accordingly.

Blood Glucose has been in good control.

It's important to recheck the INR after 2 weeks.

Please check with your physician if he shares my view.

Further management if any is based on test reports.

Post your further queries if any.
Thank you.
