I have pains like cramps and numbness in my legs below the knees, mainly the calf muscles, its tingly, feels like cramp and also gets numb, it is especially bad when lying down at night and sometimes my lower legs twitch, I wriggle alot to ease it and move my feet like I did when is hospital for a major op last year, is this to do with Diabetes? I don't have swollen ankles, I have very skinny ankles but I am scared as a lot of Diabetics get feet and leg problems. I was diagnosed in September, my eyes are ok and I managed to go from 14 stone and 40 inch waist to just under 13 stone and 36 waist from very strict carb and sugar control and swapping sparkling water for fizzy pop.
