Abstract in brief

  • Falls are a significant health concern for older adults, especially those with type 2 diabetes, as they are at a higher risk of falling than healthy peers.
  • Key risk factors for falls in these individuals include hypertension, diabetes, pain, polypharmacy, and diabetes-related issues such as peripheral neuropathy that affect strength, sensation, and balance.
  • Effective prevention involves targeted interventions like strength and balance training, reducing medication, managing diabetes carefully to avoid hypoglycemia, and relieving pain to lower fall risk.
