About this template
The log is a portrait page with a row for each reading: date, time, upper (systolic) and lower (diastolic) numbers, pulse and a notes column. The weekly diary is a landscape sheet with morning and evening rows for each day. They are recording sheets only and do not explain or judge the numbers. Each comes as a blank and a worked example with made-up readings, in Word and PDF, free.
Questions
Does the template tell me what my readings mean?
No. It only records the numbers. Your GP, nurse or pharmacist can explain them.
Which version should I use?
Use the log for an ongoing record and the weekly diary when you have been asked to record readings over a week.
Can I type into the sheet?
Yes. The Word version has a table you can type into. Print the PDF to write by hand.
Are the example readings typical or recommended?
No. They are made-up numbers to show how the sheet is filled in.
