Thank you for the query .
At this age of yours , I would highly recommend taking calcium and vitamin D3 supplements regularly .
As a long term diabetic patient you need to add Vitamin B 12 as well to avoid any neuropathies common with diabetes .
You should also add more protein in your diet , along with omega 3 , zinc , iron , vitamin C and more and more fibers .
For hot flushes , wear light cotton clothes mostly , keep yourself in a cool environment , avoid stress , keep hydrated , do exercises / weight training / walking regularly . If unbearable , than we can add certain medicines as well .
Next Steps
You can get a CBC , serum iron , vitd3 , b12 , lipid profile , thyroid profile , RFT and LFT done as a part of regular check up at this age .

Every woman above the age of 40 should take a few supplements on a daily basis - Vitamin D, Vitamin B12, omega 3 fatty acids and Protein. Other supplements should be decided considering their blood test reports.
