What Causes High Blood Pressure And Pulse Rate Without Doing Any Strenuous Activity?

I'm 17 years old, Female, and I have type 1 diabetes,
I do a lot of sports and physical activity too.
I just tested my blood pressure, it's 152 over 90 and my pulse rate is 119.
I haven't done any strenuous or intense physical activity since yesterday afternoon.
Is this normal?

Hi
152/90 is quite abnormal for your age but we can not come to conclusion just by 1 reading so please repeat your blood pressure daily once for 7 days during a relaxed period and if still the readings are same we can come to conclusion that you have hypertension.
Please take a salt free diet and have physical activity.
All the best
