SUMMARY

.This randomized controlled clinical trial aims to evaluate the effects of fall prevention in older adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Describe the current situation of falls, the risk of falls, and some related factors in elderly type 2 diabetic patients * Evaluate the results of fall prevention and related factors in the study population. Participants will be randomly divided into control and intervention groups. The intervention group will be trained to follow the Otago Training Program as the primary fall prevention method. On the other hand, the control group will receive the standard care following the treatment guidelines for type 2 diabetes mellitus and other comorbidities. At the end of the intervention, the study will mainly compare the rate of fall incidents after 6 months of intervention as well as other physical performance tests.
