Welcome to the forum.
People with mobility issues can find seated exercises useful and there are some on the NHS website.
A new look at your diet may inspire you so depending on what medications you are taking this link may give you some ideas. https://lowcarbfreshwell.com/
If you are willing to share a bit more about how you manage your condition then you should get some suggestions that would help you moving forward.
 
I exercise in the swimming pool, doing aquafit. One of the members has ankle problems. She uses a noodle to support herself while doing the exercises in the deeper part of the pool, where she can't put her feet on the bottom. Or you can just do lane swimming which requires minimal contact with the floor.
 
Welcome to the forum @Nyuki

Sorry to hear you’ve been working through a stressful time, and injuries :(

Hope you are able to find some sorts of exercises that work for you.

Are you taking medication to help with your blood glucose management?
