Peak Flow Diary
To take a peak flow reading: put the marker to zero, take a deep breath, seal your lips around the mouthpiece, then blow as hard and as fast as you can into the device. Note the reading. Repeat three times. The 'best of the three' is the reading to record. Mark this with a cross on the chart.
