Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. Your Blood pressure is high so you should continue taking lisinopril as before. You can take both metformin and lisinopril. There is no interaction between these drugs. Lisinopril in addition from controlling BP and protecting heart it has an action of protecting kidneys in diabetics.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
