Vitamin C 1000 mcg is ok for her age . Vit C is watersoluble vitamin so excess will be flushed out.Zinc is needed for immunity boosting but the exact doses need to be taken. As per her Vit D levels need to addVit D supplement . Consult me for a proper Diabetic diet with multivitamin

Yes. Vitamin C and Zinc both can be taken by her. Zinc will even help her improve her overall health including her arthritis and diabetes as this is also a very important mineral. But, do not overdo it and check the dosage before giving it to her.
