Hello Sir, Choice of antihypertensive medicines is done on the basis of comorbid disease and age of the patient. Calcium channel blockers would suit to your profile. Betablockers like Nebilong should be avoided in diabetic patient and patient above 70 (It may be used in some heart problem or if BP not controlled with ARBs and Calcium channel blockers).
