I've had hypertension for 30 years and my GP has always said to use home monitors with a cuff that goes round the top of your arm rather than a wrist one as they're more accurate.

Omron are a good make but if your Mum is likely to have hers taken at her GPs much, then it would be worth asking her practice which ones they recommend. My GP asked if I could get the same one as the practice use so they are calibrated the same.

Yes, you need an upper arm cuff one.

As previous poster said Omron are good ( our gp practice uses them)

I have recently bought the above one, basic but very good.
