That is, one wears a cuff throughout 24 hours and a series of readings is recorded, rather than the traditional way of taking three spaced readings.Keith Souterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15206349930107528691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1409887812566625284.post-49287992550522983042015-01-23T03:26:29.846-06:002015-01-23T03:26:29.846-06:00Thanks, Cheryl.

My NZ doc called me normal at 148/75. Here, normal is 130/70 and with meds, my daily one is about 115/65.
