Using the My Peak Flow Diary or the My Peak Flow Report

There are two ways to use Peak Flow:

Reports: … If you use your computer daily, you can enter readings and symptoms directly into Peak Flow, and when it is time to visit your doctor, print a report.
Diary: … If you don’t use your computer regularly, you can use Peak Flow to print a diary for the coming month. A diary is a customized form that you print out for a specific month and then hand write readings and symptoms. You can transfer the information into Peak Flow at a later date, or simply take the hand written diary to your doctor.

Notes

The two ways of using Peak Flow are not mutually exclusive. For example, you can use a diary to record readings and enter the information into Peak Flow at the end of the month. Or, if you are travelling, take a diary print out with you and enter the information into the program when you return.
