Important to check her BP, if she has low BP it could contribute to falls along with loss of sensation from diabetes. make her wear non skid socks becuase frequent falls can cause fractures easily at this age as bones are brittle. Make sure she drinks adequate amount of fluids, if she has low BP compression stockings for legs will help.
