Hello Kajal and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist, I can understand your anxiety.
Urine showing 30+albumin level, isn't normal. Especially in a diabetic, as its an early sign of diabetic nephropathy. He should check his :1.24 hours urine protein level.
2. blood routine, creatinine, HbA1C,LFT,electrolytes and platelets.
3. ultrasound-KUB.
According to these reports,an expert opinion can be given.
