What Causes The Diastolic Number To Be Low?

What causes the diastolic number to be low? My husband's b/p is 142/47. He's 75 & never has this problem.
He's diabetic & controls it fairly well & takes medication for hight blood pressure. He also takes insulin. He was unable to say the words he wanted. He's overwhelmed with a couple of problems right now. He is
resting at the moment.
