Hi
As such that reading for blood pressure in this agr is quite ok.
But as he being a diabetec you should take care
Please go ahead with renal function tests, sr creatinine, , bloodurea, electrolytes to knowif there is any alteration in the kidneys.
Check out the bp for three consecutive readings to confirm
Better avoid salty, oily, sour foods
Take care
