BP Monitoring Etc

[Kaylz]

@zoombapup I already have a proper BP monitor at home as mentioned but I don't have the time or money to go around the internet trying to find a small enough cuff, if the nurses at the health centre struggle when they have many available there then it may be troublesome trawling the net, I cant really afford it but it's safer for me

One thing you might do Kaylz, it ask the nurses what size the cuff that they have that works for you is. Apparently they come in centimeter ranges. I've got to have one that goes "22cm up to 42 cm" apparently. We tried a few different ones last I was there. Got her to write down the size of the one that fit. Might be worth doing that to make sure you get one? All of the cuffs I've seen give their range sizes, so you can be sure to buy one that is right for you. Having said that, if the wrist one works, that does sound like it'd be easier for someone with smaller wrists.

I have seen replacement cuffs for sale on Amazon.

Hi this is my 1st post.
Does anyone know a reliable place to buy a miao miao cgm device. Im using a libre flash test monitor, which is great but CGM would be even better

I think your best to use their official site, @everydayupsanddowns any chance you could separate this into its own thread from my post as he aint got much chance of getting responses being lost in a thread about BP things xx

Hi @Kaylz I bought a Hommie from Amazon only about £38, does most things including BP & blood oxygen. It won`t guarantee the BP readings but on cross reference to my BP monitor its not bad, totally black with a plastic strap but will fit a baby`s wrist, good square screen easy to see. I`ll try and get the link for you so you can see for your self. xx

I have :
https://www.amazon.co.uk/LEMFO-Fitn...s=lemfo+fitness+tracker&qid=1580037821&sr=8-7
which can measure BP every 10 minutes, also measures heart rate. gives a kind of ecg trace during measuring, seems to be reasonably accurate.

If you can’t find a wrist one for a reasonable price then this cuff might work https://www.amazon.co.uk/Omron-Smal...all+blood+pressure+cuff&qid=1580043852&sr=8-5

Hope you find a method of measuring BP that works for you @Kaylz

@Kaylz - I found myself clicking on eBay and happened upon this. I haven't got one (I use and Apple Watch), but it seems to do a lot for under £20. Whether it does anyof those things well? Who knows.

All I can say is, I love the call, message and other notifications I have on my watch. Once used to those things, rummaging in the old handbag, to find my phone, just to read a text seems like a load of faff.
