[acb-diabetics] talking bp machine for wrist

[MARILYN LUTTER]

I  have a  talking wrist blood pressure machine.  I  have had it for several 
years.  The one I  have I  got from independent living aids.  It is 
manufactured by a  company called Oregon Scientific.  It has some 
limitations.  Drs. tell me that the wrist machines are less accurate  than 
the ones that go around the upper arm.  I  also find using it frustrating 
because it is very sensitive to slight motion and if it detects any it will 
give an error message asking you to wait for two minutes and try again.  It 
can be very frustrating if this happens several times when you are trying to 
do a  test.

Maybe there are some better ones available now.
