Hi
Albuminuria is known to occur with uncontrolled diabetes/ long standing diabetes/ hypertension.
Glycosuria which is not well controlled will eventually lead to diabetic nephropathy.
Get HbA1c to know the control of diabetes over past 120 days.
Discuss with your consulting doctor regarding further investigations like GFR to know about your renal function.
Also discuss with your doctor regarding modification of medications and make lifestyle changes to have a control on diabetic status.
