Mr. lybrate-user, ESR tends to go up whenever there is a chronic (long term) ailment is going on. It is a parameter seen to go up in almost every chronic illness. There is no specific remedy to reduce ESR. However, the chronic illness present, is well controlled then ESR reduces. Since the patient has uncontrolled diabetes, with very high blood glucose, it es essential to control the same. Ideally fasting should be closer to 100 mg, PP 160 to 170 mg & HbA1c%<7. Thanks.
