I think that if you formalise a method of using them and regard them as being a guide to tendencies in a naturally variable biological characteristic, they are fine. I hate the way things were until recently, 2 points over the surgeries guidance numbers, and I could be going back 3 times, then take the time of my GP to have her say it seems fine. Luckily, now I am in their tolerances, otherwise you get a thing fitted for 24 hours, which shows very little. It has been within normal limits for 10 years, a sudden change or a gradual trend might show something.
