Hello,
Thank you for trusting HealthcareMagic for your health concern

There are some.over the counter supplements containing herbal products that is bring sold to control diabetes. However,there is no data or extensive research supporting their efficacy in lowering blood pressure.
The best option is to see if dietary control and exercise helps to maintain normal blood sugar levels. If that alone is not sufficient, O recommend that it is important to start anti diabetic medications to avoid complications of long term high levels of blood glucose.

Hope this answers your questions
