You are an elderly Diabetic with history of longstanding Diabetes.
Brain and nervous system undergo degeneration due to advancing age and diabetes accelerates the process of degeneration.
All your symptoms may be due to cerebral atrophy.
Brain infarct is also a microvascular complication of long standings diabetes.
Imaging of the brain should be done.
Consult a neurophysician.
