Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. By your history and description, possibility of brain related event like CV (cerebra vascular) stroke is more. Unable to walk, move, not raising her shoulders and arm are suggestive of paralysis sort of thing. And shouts at high risk of CV stroke due to diabetes and heart diseases. So immediately take her to the hospital and get done CT scan or MRI of brain to rule out CV stroke. She will need intensive care with 24 hours monitoring. So don't wait at home, take her to the hospital as soon as possible. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your mother. Thanks.
