thanks for your query
though you have been diagnosed with diabetes,you did not mention about your fasting and post prondial glucose levels,hence it becomes difficult to comment if you require medications or diet and lifestyle modification will do the job. carvedilol and diovan protect your kidney by decreasing the albuminuria,also act as antihypertensives,norvasac is an antihypertensive. there is no harm in combining carvedilol and diovan as long as your creatinine and potasium are in normal limits
wish you good health.
