The blood pressure in your body changes throughout the day. This is why your doctor wants you to measure at the same time of the day. We recommend that you make blood pressure measuring part of your daily routine so it’s easy to remember.

Your Lara Health app has reminders function to make consistent measuring easy. You can create multiple reminders and even select different times for each day.

Lara Health also sends automatic text message reminders when you don’t measure for 2 days in a row.

‍Helpful tip

Because your BP changes during the day, even if you measure daily, you should also try to add more measurements during the day. Do you always measure in the morning? Then take a reading in the evening here are there too. That way your care team can observe your blood pressure during different times of the day and adjust your medication better.
