Albumin : Albumin is a protein. In general if our blood level of Albumin is high, it means we have good nutrition. Please be sure that you didn't have too much protein in your urine however, as this can mean that you have kidney disease which is more likely in you since you have diabetes. Please be sure the protein in your urine was not high.

Retest: Agree with Dr. E. If you are diabetic protein in urine is to be concerned about and its effect can be mitigated with medication. Same applies if you have hypertension. If you are not diabetic, and not hypertensive you may wish to get tested again in 6 months.
