Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

Microalbumin is amount of albumin protein in the urine. Microalbumin tests are recommended for people with an increased risk of kidney disease, such as those with type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure.

In a 24 hours sample, 30 to 300 mg indicates early kidney disease (microalbuminuria).

HbA1c below 6.9 is considered normal by most physicians indicating good diabetes control.

Please follow up with your doctor regularly.
