Dear sir i can understand your concern.
The medication lisinopril is also ACE inhibitor(angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor) this are a group of medication which are having multiple benefits
the main benefit in diabetes are
1.kidney protection
2.Decrease free radical damage to body
3.controllers blood pressure
This medication also prevents the microvascular complications in diabetes.
in my opinion you are taking good combination of medications
i suggest you to continue the same.
