First try to reduce weight by 15 kg
Brisk walking daily for 1 hour in the morning. Take well balanced diet with plenty of leaffy vegetables and fresh fruits. Eat salads like carrot , beet root, cabbage, onion,keera etc twice daily along with lunch and dinner. Strictly avoid deep fried foods and chocolates and sweets.
Try diet restrictions for 3 months and repeat test. If the readings are still high you can go for medication.
