Dear Friend.
Welcome to HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney. I have read your query in detail. I understand your concern.
Since he is a diabetic, he is prone to develop infections.
This might be due to :
1. Urinary tract infection
2. Pneumonia
Raised ESR with Fever also signifies infection.
I would advise you to get him investigated:
1. Hemogram
2. urine R/M and Culture
3. Xray Chest.
This is my best advise for you based on available details. If you have any further query please ask me.
Stay Healthy.
