Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic

Yes...

Blood pressure is a silent killer...
It targets - Kidney, Eyes, Brain & Heart.
90 is high normal (pre-hypertension) / needs frequent follow up and treatment.

So is sugar.
It is now considered equivalent to Coronary Artery Disease
You will benefit by starting Metformin - start in the night and step up if necessary..
Postprandial sugar can be controlled by alphaglucosidase inhibitors like voglibose - with the meals...

Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
