Hello,
It is known that diabetic patient have more differences in Blood Pressure (BP), for example 140/60.
Your systolic blood pressure is high and you might need extra medications for lowering it, an increase in doze or a diuretic like hydrochlorothiazide.
If I were you, I would control many my BP times a day and then I would go to the doctor with bp values written in a paper, or else you can also do a 24 h BP Holter Monitor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Anila Skenderi
