Hello ,
The cause of low grade fever in the evening can be many . As he is diabetic, many a times he may not have XXXXXXX high grade fever . So the first thing to rule out is any infection in the body .
Get basic investigations done .
CBC, Crp , Urine -routine / Micro, Sgpt, S.creat, sugars and chest X ray.
If there are mosquitoes around consider getting a malaria / Dengue test may help.
If everything is negative uncontrolled diabetes may sometimes cause low grade fever
An examination by a doctor would help .

At his age and co-morbidities it's always wise to get things evaluated rather than wait .
Hoping I could help .

Do upload the reports and advice by the doctor along with his findings
Detailed Answer:
Hello ,
On personal front I would like to rule out all causes before labelling it as due to hypertension. 65 years is not that much of age to have such low grade fever .
I would request you to send me all the reports already done and doctors examination finding along with all medication he is a taking on HCM upload attachments option or mail me at priyankmody86@Gmail. com if they are of bigger size .
With that just add some history in detail since when is he having low grade fever , any associated cough, abdominal pain , burning in urine or anything relevant.
I would revert back with my opinion after reviewing the reports.
Regards Dr. Mody
