Easier said than done, but it'd add to the diabetic crap. Cook beans (kidney, red, pinto...) and brown rice for breakfast, have it pre-made. Eat a salad for lunch (not too much salad dressing), nuts and seeds for snacks, and random veggies (cooked carrots, asparagus, spinach, broccoli, cauliflower, etc.) for supper and a small portion of meat if you're a meat eater. All of that can be easily made. Just throw some pepper in or something else if you're adventurous. You just need a soup pan and a skillet with a lid for all that. When you get home with all the veggies, wash all if it so that putting it together later is easier.

Find time to sleep. If you can't do anything much at a certain time, go to sleep. At this point, getting any sleep at any time of the day might be better than what you've been doing.

Doing all of that might be very hard at first, but it will get easier once your body adjusts. Then you might be well enough to exercise properly.

I hope that helps.

Edit: Limit your sugar intake to fruit. No soda. Drink either hot tea, milk or water. Stay away from juice, that will sugar crash you.
