Dear lybrate-user,
I am sorry to hear about your disabilities after the above knee amputation and osteoarthritis of the other knee. Weight gain in this situation is due to severe reduction in physical activity. To some extent you can compensate by exercising your arms, abdominal muslces and back muscles systematically. To control your sugars better you can try the following
