Change to tuning G2, C3, F3, Bb3, D4, G4. New tension, 118.7 lbs.

Since the OP has a 580mm scale, (580/630)^2*118.7=100lbs. This would be calculated with regular tension strings like d'addario pro arte nylon.
I’d look for lower tension since you mentioned arthritic hands. Email Strings by Mail. I’m sure that they would know the lowest tension.
Not sure about the numbers but Dogal Diamante felt very light.
