Are there any guide lines for physicians to prescribe medicines based on
levels of BG and A1C are do they start experimenting one drug after the
other.
I think there is a certain relationship between diabetes and
hypertension . I find my BP is elevated when my BG is also elevated .
Are there seperate class of medications available to club both diabetes
and hypertension ?

Is that a commandment, or advice? Sounds like the first

I think every doc has his own preferences, but for a T2, most start with
metformin at 500mg qd, ramping it up as the GI distress decreases. Some
seem to add a sulf, either through ignorance or to knock down the
glucotoxicity right away. From there it is all tweaking the meds,
perhaps adding a TZD, until fasting and A1c come down.
The preferred BP meds for a diabetic are the ACE class, then the ARBs if
people get the bradykinin cough. CCBs have some negative effects in
diabetics, as do BBs.

To use an American expression, "What do these medicine men
know?" They do know something about safe doses, but not
too much.
There are several types of hypertension medicine, and as
with just about anything, all medicines have risks and
benefits. Remember that Your Mileage May Vary. Any
doctor who is not willing to change medicines which do
not work is dangerous.
Typically, ACEs and ARBs (similar) are used to treat
hypertension, and to avoid kidney problems. There are
also diuretics, alpha blockers, beta blockers, calcium
channel blockers which I know about. I am sure that
there are more. Each of these works for some and not
for others. Some of these help diabetes in some, and
the same ones can make it worse in others. So they have
to experiment one drug after the other.
