The statement is false. The International Normalized Ratio (INR) is not used for managing hyperglycemia or adjusting doses of diabetes medications. Instead, it is a standardized number that is used to monitor patients on anticoagulant therapy, specifically warfarin. This is important for ensuring the patient's blood is not too thin (which could lead to bleeding complications) or too thick (which could lead to clotting complications). Management of hyperglycemia in diabetic patients involves monitoring blood glucose levels and adjusting doses of hypoglycemic medications, not INR levels.
