Microalbuminuria can be managed effectively by keeping sugars under good control, reducing salt, Controlling Blood pressure. insulin is a good option for the time being which will help to control blood sugars in view of the long duration of diabetes. Tablets like telmisartan will help reduce microalbuminuria. if blood sugars are maintained well you can slowly wean off insulin with the help of your diabetologist.
