Here is the blog from last time this was offered, December 19, 2005:
Remember everyone this is not just for old men. For example you could be someone whom is not over weight, eats right, works out and all that stuff, yet has had high blood pressure since the age of 13 for no reason any test could find out. Now im 20 and I bought this last time and love it. It makes for a quick check durring the day and helps me see that my meds are doing the trick. High blood pressure can happen to anyone. Its not a problem for “Old men”
Now as far as to how well it works. My uncle and I tested it on a few family members at christmas just because he is a medic and has one of the old school hand pump ones that they swear by. So we tested it on myself, my grandmother, my mom, my brother, his daughter and his wife. Each time it was within just a few points. The key to this though was making sure it was on right. If you dont put it on the inside of your wrist, it wont work right or if you put it in the wrong place it will be totally off. All in all its good for the average person and will work for a medic in a pinch if its all they have.
