As well as diabetes I suffer from high blood pressure and I am due for a review from my nurse in a month, I suspect she is going to increase my Atenonol dose if it is still high.
I am trying to loose weight and exercise more but would like to buy a BP monitor and would like to get your opinions on the most accurate and reliable one to buy.
Your views and opinions very much appreciated.
Thank you.

Omron is not a bad make and pretty cheap too. Don't get the wrist monitor, get the upper arm version. Approx £20 from Amazon. I know Omron are good as we use them at work professionally.
 
I got an Omron M10-IT from Amazon. My doc has an Omron too.

My BP is always high at the surgery. Hoping that I can print off my lower home readings to convince nursey that I don't need meds.
 
Another Omron user here too,they are a great bp monitor and very reliable.
 
Thanks for your help, I have just bought a Lloyds Pharmacy BP monitor for £15, its a "Which" best buy and also approved by the British Hypertension Society. So far seems very accurate and gives consistent readings.

Rather an old thread any way. Some of those BP monitors may be obsolete now.
