Hello,
The data you have provided shows red cell count in higher normal ranges and width of your red blood cells is high, may be secondary to vitmain B12 or folate deficiency. Very Mild rise in ESR is due to abscess. You should get your sugars checked by test HBA1C levels.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
