Hi and welcome to HCM!


Thanks for your question. Your doctor would've diagnosed you with diabetic nephropathy (complication of uncontrolled diabetes) more common in type 1 diabetes. In this condition along with good blood glucose control, medictions for reducing protein leakage is very essential to decrease the progression of kidney damage. These medicines are generally prescribed for blood pressure but even if your blood pressure is normal you need to take it regularly.
Any medication has it's known side-effects and adverse effects shouldn't get confused with information on google or on the medicines. Discuss with a concerned specialist and clarify your doubt.

Hope this helps.

Take care
