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

Your sugars are erratic in view of irregular meal timing
Fix your meal size and time and watch the difference
