Hi welcome to HCM.
I have read your question and I have understood your concerns.
Loss of protein in urine is a sign of kidneys damage in any disease, also in a diabetes. But the most important parameter is S. Creatinine and GFR(glomerular filtration rate). Please just see your reports and discuss with your doc about that parameters.
My advice to you -

1.Avoid excessive fluid and salt at it will raise your blood pressure in kidney DISEASE . DON'T TAKE EXCESSIVE FRUIT JUICES - THEY SHOULD BE AVOIDED BOTH IN KIDNEY DISEASES AND DIABETES.. SO restrict fruit intake. Upto early stages of kidney damage normal protein intake in diet is allowed.

2.Tight control of blood sugar is of utmost importance. Target will be FBS
3 . Don't get panic, in early stages kidney diseases are preventable. Take regular follow up with your kidney specialist and do every 2 monthly blood reports for kidney and diabetes.
Thank you.
