Controlling diabetes with osteoarthritis
My mother has diabetes since 1 year. Her HBA1c is 7.2. However, she also has knee osteoarthritis since last 5 years. The only option is to do a knee replacement surgery. In this condition, what can we do to control her diabetes as she is unable to do any kind of exercise - unable to do too much walking, cannot climb stairs etc. What options for exercise do we have for diabetes management? Please advise.

Her diabetes status seems to be in good control
If knee replacement were advised by orthopaedics doctor follow up with them
It will be difficult to do exercise for currently
If knee replacement managed well she can do her regular activities post to that
