Dear
Thank you very much for posting the question. I hope that your mother must be well controlled as far as diabetes and hypertension is concerned.
The report shows that;
ACR ratio is in normal range ie less than 30 mg/mmol and not something to be worried about at this stage but your concern of progression towards chronic kidney disease is genuine and to address this concern ACR test is recommended every year to keep an eye on the progression of kidney disease due to diabetes and as well as hypertension. Since GFR and creatinine are normal there is nothing to be worried about at the moment.
Having said that diabetes as well as hypertension are long standing conditions that can affect kidneys either directly or even due to some treatment/medicines being used for their management.
The best solution is to keep diabetes and hypertension under good control.
Another thing that can be done to hamper the progression of kidney disease in diabetes is to use an ACE inhibitor (a type of blood pressure control medicine). Common market examples are
Capoten
Zestril etc

I hope this was helpful
