Brief Answer:
Need to be on ACE/ARB
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query
It is usual to have microalbuminuria in people with long standing diabetes. If it is controlled at this point the long term complications can be avoided. This is what you should do
1. Continue salt restricted diet
2. Avoid red meat and high protein diet, it is toxic to the kidney
3. Exercise daily and reduce weight if you are over weight
4. You need to be on a tablet from the class known as ACE/ARB. I usually start my patients on Tab Telmesartan, it is best drug to protect the kidneys and the heart from long term damage.
Microalbumin in urine will not cause reduced power or itchy skin. I recommend that you approach a physician for a general health check up for allergies. Get blood eosinophil and serum calcium levels done.
I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me

Brief Answer:
Dont worry

Having microalbumin is nothing to be worried about. More than diet I recommend that you are on ACE/ARB medications, it will definitely control your microalbuminuria. Restricting salt will not change the amount of proteins lost in the urine.
Your diet should be
1. Low salt and low calorie diet
2. Avoid foods rich in starch and carbohydrates like vada, dosa, raagi, etc
3. Avoid food rich in fat like vada, pakodas, etc
4. You can have all types of foods except mangoes and apricots.
5. Papayas are good
6. More than diet, exercising is of most importance
I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me
