[QUOTE="moonstone, post: 156210, member: 6133"] Leading up to diagnosis when I was really unwell I got cramps in my legs, mostly at night, and struggled to walk up stairs too. It settled down when I got diagnosed. I randomly met a type 1 diabetic at a gig and he told me that if he could give me one piece of advice it would be to eat a banana every day as the potassium in them "stops the cramps". It might be with all the pills you're on you're lacking in some vitamins + minerals. Or, it could be something entirely different, but I can't see any harm in trying a banana and seeing what happens! Bananas also lower blood pressure to some extent, which is good for diabetics, obviously. [/QUOTE]
