Hello and welcome to HCM. As an Urologist,i can understand your anxiety.
It's good you've consulted a nephrologist,with your reports.
Microalbuminuria is early detection of protein loss in the urine.
The next test to be done is, a 24 hours urine protein estimation.
You should also get an urine culture and serum creatinine test done.
The treatment started, should be maintained as advised.
Maintain the HbA1C below 6.5 always and check your lipid profile also.
If you've any doubts,send all the reports to me,as a direct question.
