Hello
Let me explain few things about ESR ( normal 2-10 mm of 1st hour).
It is assumed that when ESR increases , there is anywhere any infection in the body .
This was previously recognized that raised ESR is due to any infection but now a days many doctors don't believe in this reading .
As you mentioned that your ESR is 105 mm it may be due to some chronic or acute infection in shoulder joint ( as you stated that there is pain in shoulder joint).
While diabetes is not any infectious disease , so this is nothing to do with ESR reading.
Increased ESR may be due to some disease but in itself increased level of ESR don't causes any bad impact over body.
Hope this information will be useful for you.
