Yes. You are diabetic. Its not necessary for both values to be raised. Also, your hba1c levels are high.
Kindly meet local physician or diabetologist for treatment.
Follow strict diabetic diet. If you do not exercise, try exercising regularly for atleast 30 mins daily.

I'm 37 year old male on bp meds since the age of 29, i've been on atenolol 50, nifedipine 10, amlodipine 5, currently on metoprolol succinate xl 50 and cilnidipine 10. I learnt from my personal experiences and also from web literature that beta blockers/calcium channel blockers can cause slow heart rate or bradycardia unlike angiotensin receptor blockers (arb' s) like telmisartan or thiazide diuretics such as hydrochlorothiazide or chlorthalidone. Can I switch from beta blockers to arb's with docs advice to negate the effects of beta blockers. What about celiprolol, carvedilol and pindolol? My last bp readings were, 130/90, 140/80 and 130/85 monitored every 7-10 days. I have undergone my lipid profile, kidney function, liver function and thyroid tests a month ago and everything seemed normal. I'm not diabetic and it doesn't run in the family as well. I do have allergic rhinitis from so many years for which I have tried levocetirizine, montelukast and fexofenadine meds as and when required. Also take placida plus for anxiety issues. I'm just asking this out of curiosity.

You should know that not any beta blocker can be started as there is scientific evidence behind which one to start in a particular patient and this information sadly your go...more

You need a thorough evaluation for increased pulse rate or palpitations.
Increased pulse can be caused by disorders of heart rhythm. So there are normal types of rhythm which can result in increased pulse called as sinus tachycardia medically. Or there can be abnormal rhythm causing your increased pulse rates called as arrhythmias medically.
A detailed evaluation including ecg, 2d echo, certain blood tests will help to determine the exact nature and cause of your increased pulse rate.more

Age related memory loss
As everyone gets older it becomes more difficult to remember things, especially if one is getting over 60 years of age. This is because like other parts of the body, the brain also changes with age. How? Here’s how.
Parts of the brain that handle cognitive functions, learning, memory, and planning shrink with age.
Neurons (nerve cells) in the brain stop communicating efficiently. This is of course a gradual process.
Arteries narrow with age and new blood v...more
