8.3 Diabetes, history of other
medical conditions
If you have diabetes, hepatic
disorders or narrowed blood ves-
sels (e.g. arteriosclerosis, peripheral
arterial occlusive diseases (PAOD)),
you should consult your doctor
before carrying out self-measure-
ment because altered measured
values may occur in such cases. If
you suffer from certain blood
diseases (e.g. haemophilia),
severely impaired blood fl ow, or
if you take blood-thinning drugs,
you should also ask your doctor
before carrying out self-measure-
ment.
8.4 Arrhythmias, heart rhythm
disorders, cardiac pacemakers
In the case of severe heart
g rhythm disorders (arrhythmias),
e measurements should only be
nt taken in consultation with the
doctor. Due to the oscillometric
measuring method, in some
cases, incorrect readings may be
determined or no measurement
results are obtained (Err).
f- Altered measured values may
occur in the case of self-
measurement of blood pressure

performed by cardiac pacemaker
wearers. The blood pressure
monitor itself has no impact on
the cardiac pacemaker. Please
note that the displayed pulse
rate is not suitable for checking
the rate of cardiac pacemak-
ers. Please check with your
doctor whether self-measure-
ment of blood pressure is
advisable if you are wearing a
cardiac pacemaker.
8.5 Important notes for self-
measurement
Individual readings are situation-
related and thus are not useful.
Even slight changes in internal
and external factors (e.g. deep
breathing, stimulants, talking,
excitement, climatic factors) lead
to fl uctuations in blood pressure.
This is why your doctor and
pharmacist often obtain different
readings.
Always measure blood pressure
on the same wrist and hold the
blood pressure monitor at the
level of the heart.
Measurement can be taken on
the right or left arm. The arm
giving higher readings should be
