Brief Answer:
Continue insulin

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. Diabetes gradually affects kidney function. Your microalbumin is borderline and as of now it is not a cause for concern. The primary mode of treatment would be proper control of the blood sugar levels. You need to continue to take insulin as directed. No other intervention is specifically needed.
