Hi caritas and welcome to the forum.

Your blood sugar levels are high and they are affecting your ACR, which is part of a kidney function test.
Definitions
  • Microalbuminuria: albumin:creatinine ratio (ACR) greater than or equal to 2.5 mg/mmol (men) or 3.5 mg/mmol (women), or albumin concentration greater than or equal to 20 mg/L.
  • Proteinuria: ACR greater than or equal to 30 mg/mmol or albumin concentration greater than or equal to 200 mg/L.

Diabetes is a very common cause of kidney failure. Studies have shown that identifying diabetic patients who have a very early stage of kidney disease by demonstrating an abnormal ACR helps treatment to be appropriately adjusted. Good control of diabetes and other conditions, such as high blood pressure, can slow down or prevent the progression of kidney disease.
