Morning readings are easier to compare when the sequence stays the same.
Why it matters
Choose a repeatable window and follow the measurement schedule given by your healthcare professional.
A practical routine
- Use the bathroom first if needed.
- Sit quietly for five minutes.
- Record whether the reading was before food, caffeine, exercise, or medication.
Make the record useful
Use a correctly fitted upper-arm cuff, sit quietly with supported posture, and record paired readings when recommended. Add a short note when illness, pain, poor sleep, stress, exercise, meals, or medication timing adds context.
