My Dad has diabetes and all he does is sleep in bed all day everyday. He needs help to go to the toilet and changes his mood every second. His eyes always get swollen and he is super thin! I don’t know what food to make for him since he can’t have oil, fat, and fried foods! I don’t know what to do!

I would bet that his diabetes is not being controlled very well by your description of him. He needs to see his doctor and see if his meds need to be changed or adjusted first. Then make sure that he is eating a healthy low carb diet that is rich in protein and fiber. Make sure he has some carbs, but make sure they are good carbs. He needs to get out of the bed and get some exercise every day. There are plenty of good foods that he can eat. Get him a dietitian or a nutritionist to help with his meals. He sounds like he is going to need a lot of help. The first thing he needs to do is get his butt to the doctor.

Balanced meals like chicken (no skin), vegetable, whole grain bread. No sugar.
