Rick,
If you have already been on Zestril for years, I haven't seen anything that would suggest that Avapro is all the much more protective.
The most protective thing you could do would be get your blood sugar down to rock solid normal--a1c under 5% if possible, or as close to that as is possible without danger of hypos. This might take insulin and a lowered carb diet to achieve.
If you are keeping your blood sugar at the 6.5%+ level many doctors consider "fine" for diabetics, the glucose in your blood is going to be clogging up the filtration units of the kidney.
There are people online who have reversed kidney disease via low carb diets. Aramanth Dawe is one. You can find her messages using Google Groups search for "aramanth kidney" and you'll find her story.
