[QUOTE="LittleSue, post: 93300, member: 6295"] [b]Re: Blood Testing Monitor[/b] Oh sorry, you mean 24-hour blood [i]pressure [/i]monitor - I thought you meant blood [i]sugar [/i]monitor! In that case ignore my previous comments. My dad had a 24-hour bp monitor and found it okay, he managed to cycle with it on. Apparently when it does a reading you feel it squeeze your arm hard just like when the doctor checks it, so you need to be ready to stop driving when it happens. Your readings sound ok, maybe you have 'white coat sydnrome' (ie it goes up with the stress of seeing a doctor/nurse). The monitor will show what's happening on a normal day. [/QUOTE]
