Pain is possibly due to weight over the joints while standing, walking. Since she is diabetic, you need to have once in a month FBS, PPBS test, urine analysis. Once in 6 months, other tests like SERUM CREATININE, Blood urea. Lipid profile. Once in a year, you need to show her to an ophthalmologist.

She should get a bone density to check bone strength and take natural or ayurvedic bone supplements. She should avoid spicy, oily and sour and old food. Increase intake of greens, salad, raw foods and fruit. If she cannot loose weight, it will be a great problem in future. You have to induce her to do pranayama and mild exercise.
