No. Optimal bp for a diabetic patient is <130/80. To achieve that you have to follow a strict diet, regular exercise & proper medications. Uncontrolled diabetes & high bp may lead to heart & kidney problems.

Yes. It is ok. But blood pressure levels above 140/90 will require further optimization of treatment.
