Luckily for you, you don't have to workout! Weight loss starts in the kitchen, not the gym. My favorite tool is: http://ratfactor.com/tools/fatcalc/

You can enter your information and it will tell you more or less how much you need to eat per day to lose weight. If you eat at a deficit, then even if you do not work out, you will still lose the weight. Mix a caloric deficit with exercise though and you will lose much more weight effectively. A fun side effect of weight loss is feeling more energetic.
You cannot lose weight effectively and permanently without activity and exercise. It's a huge part of helping you with your diabetes as well. You may need a combination of counseling and a weight loss program.
First things first, please do not let exercise participation frighten you, there are multiple types of aerobic training; with varying intensity levels. In fact, the lower intensity aerobic training is recommended for weight-loss, as there is more of an emphasis on lipid\fat metabolism. Meaning biochemically this steady-state of aerobic exercise training mobilizes more of the stored fat calories for expenditure. Simple daily walks will begin the additional fat metabolism that you are seeking while also acclimate you to the more moderate intensity for the increased caloric expenditure and cardiovascular benefits. The caloric reduction can be done through simple dietary changes. Focus on multiple smaller meals throughout the day. 4-5 small meals, which can be described as grazing throughout the day. Fruits, veggies, lean meats, and dairy. When one goes forward with the intentions of weightloss, please keep in mind that the metabolically active tissues need to be maintained; therefore keeping blood sugar levels stable is necessary, or you can reduce your metabolism as you reduce your metabolically active tissues, your muscle mass. Eating regularly with these multiple meals will support the blood sugar levels allowing for the retainment of the active tissues; while also maintaining your metabolism. Slow progression is the key to long term success. Be kind to yourself as you begin the necessary changes.
You are most likely not healthy enough to work out at this point in time if you are suffering with diabetes. It is imperative that you begin the process of eliminating toxins from your body so that it can solve the hormonal imbalance that is causing your diabetes.
