Maybe the numbness is from his leg injury and not the diabetes he should really go back to the nurse and ask her more questions. The lack of exercise will also compound the problem, if he is able to go swimming it may take some of the pressure off his legs for a short while.

If his GP has checked his leg pulse etc and they're sound then it seems more likely to be related to his other leg injury rather than a circulation problem. Has he checked his feet for sensation , neuropathy in early stages could cause numbness or loss of feelings. Only a medical professional can check this so maybe an appointment with GP in order ?
