[Diabetes-talk] talking blood pressure monitors

[Joyce Porter]

It doesn't give the time.  What I do is this:  I opened up a file on my computer and every morning when I had to track my blood pressure readings I took it, wrote the date, time and readings and saved it.  It was easy and my doc was pleased.  I'm glad I don't have to track it every day any more but I found it easy.  My meter reads the  blood pressure and pulse and it reads it four times.  It runs on two double-A batteries and has an earphone and a volume control.

I hope this has been helpful.  The voice is female and very clear.

Dear Joyce,
Is your blood pressure monitor able to speak the results in memory and at 
what time bp was taken? My friend is supposed to keep track of his readings 
for a month. I am considering getting the bp monitor from Independent Living 
Aids.

I bought mine from Independent Living Aids and it is fully accessible. They 
have two types.  One fits on the wrist and the other has the regular cuff 
for the arm; I like that one best.

Dear NFB Diabetes list,
I am looking for a talking blood pressure monitor for myself and a friend of 
mine. I have seen many advertised on Maxiaids and Independent Living Aids, 
but it is hard to determine if the monitors are fully accessible. For 
example, they may announce the blood pressure and pulse but are unable to 
speak the results in memory. My friend doesn’t need to check his blood 
sugar, but maybe the Prodigy Duo would be the most accessible. Since high 
blood pressure is associated with diabetes, I thought that I might be able 
to get some information from this list. I apologize if my message is off 
topic.
Thank you.
Chanelle
