[Diabetes-Talk] New to the list and seeking recommendations or experiences with talking blood pressure monitors

[kg 6sxy (kg6sxy)]

I use a QardioArm blood pressure cuff that connects to an app on my phone and works really well with VoiceOver.  I believe they have apps for iPhone and Android.  I like that their blood pressure cuff has alerts for irregular heartbeats, etc since I have Atrial Fibrillation.

I also have their digital scale that uses the same app.

Take care,  
Tony

Earlier in life I had been hypoglycemic so apparently it’s common for that to turn over to diabetes as you age. Anyway, she would like me to purchase a talking blood pressure monitor. I have search the net far and wide and for the life of me I have no idea which one to pick. It seems impossible to find reviews or even ratings on the various talking blood pressure monitors on the market. Many of them don’t even seem to have brand names to identify them. They simply say talking blood pressure cuff or talking blood pressure meter or monitor. If anyone on this list has experience with talking blood pressure devices and wouldn’t mind sharing I would really appreciate it!

To that end, if any of you can point me in the direction of some eating plans that are healthy for diabetic I would really appreciate it. All of this is very disorienting to me because I do not eat nor do I crave a lot of sugar. I’m not even a big fan of most sweets. But, as I have learned, that’s not really what this is about. :-) Thanks for anything you guys can offer.
