I have had trouble with leg cramps for a while... They went away while I was in hospital last week (being treated for high blood sugar and high ketones) but have returned the last couple of nights. I have heard this can be because of diabetes so I was wondering if anyone else suffers from them.

I did a lot of research after reading in my Vitamin book that cramps are due to low potassium, the quick Fix is drink Tonic Water, it has quinine in it, the better solution is to eat more of the necessary foods,
Tomato + and or tomato paste, yogurt, milk, baked potato skin on, carrot juice, raisins, apricots, beans, tuna cod salmon sardines, it cured my awful tummy cramps, ( frequent ) after taking metformin, and 1 morning of painful foot cramps, I eat a lot more Yogurt, have a tube of tomato paste handy, and used to leave the skins of the potato, keep tuna cans handy if I run out of other things,
I have just read that calcium supplements are good for helping your vitamin B12 levels, I just need to try and remember to take one
