Thanks to HCM
I can understand your concern

here I would like to know ,how long do you have this diabetes,any associated symptoms with fever

ESR Is only relative indicator of disease
so plz undergo once CBP,WIDAL and malaria test also
along with that chest x ray is helpful to know lung disease

if above investions are normal ,just go then rh factor aso titre

plz consult your family doctor with these reports or HCM

Till such time you can use paracetamol 500mg.antibiotic like monocef o 200mg for 3days.

don't worry it will subside ok dibetes will be also controlled with oha ok

low grade fever is due to infection in blood ,
