This is borderline: I assume you meant blood pressure. 130/80 is the upper level of blood pressure that we consider normal in a young diabetic like you. Blood pressure tends to go up as we age, so you should have your BP checked regularly at least every few months to insure that it doesn't stay above 130/80.
