What is your question? Are you asking for Australian forum members for advice? What are your specific questions? ( sorry if I’ve missed something…)

I always carry yellow book around with me. I can only think its valuable in an emergency and I can't speak for myself. And no I don't go round fearing emergencies. Just got into the habit after being advised to.

Yes, you should always do that!

I’m from the US and was wondering what a yellow book is.

[David-Nisbet in reply to Youmi111]

Ireland and the UK use them to record INR levels & dosage. Personally I don't bother with it nor does my clinic.

Thank you for letting me know. I have a blood tester here I do at home and record it in a book. So I guess it’s kind of the same thing. 😊

I make my own chart.
