Hi ,
Thanks for writing in to us at HCM.
Diabetes is a progressive disease . with age the blood pessure shows increasing trends due to decrease in elasticity of Blood vessels.
Kindly consult a physician and get your present blood sugar levels and BP checked. If required you may be put on medication. HB1Ac (Glycosylated Haemoglobin) gives a better picture of the diabetic status for the last three months. kindly get this checked along with Fasting blood sugar and post prandial blood sugar.
Regards,
Dr.Riyanka
