Also use the opportunity at the doctor's office to have them do a reading with their cuff and compare to a reading from your cuff to check for accuracy.

I will be doing that soon. I almost always get great readings in my PCP's offie, but elsewhere in the same clinic they could be high or low. No much consistency clinicwide it seems.
About 10 days ago I had a 24 hour BP monitor and every valid reading was high. A couple days ago in my hand surgeon's office it was 100/64. How does that compute?
