HellsBells Sep 2015 9:38pm, 24 Sep 2015 19,723 posts	0 HellsBells There is no absolute "normal" value. It depends on age, sex and height - as a 50 year old 5'7" woman my normal will be lower than a 30 year old 6 foot bloke's. It's the trends and changes that matter. I really don't understand why you're measuring it and unless you're using a properly calibrated and standardised meter and have been shown how to use it properly then the results are meaningless. If you've not got any symptoms, leave it alone
