[QUOTE="Robbity, post: 2360950, member: 93179"] Years ago I used to regularly suffer from regular agonizing leg cramps.when I was taking diuretics which were causing me to wee out a lot of fluid and with it vital minerals - potassium, etc. My go to solution then was a banana a day in addition to making sure I was drinking enough. After I was diagnosed with T2, I started getting occasional bad cramps again, generally if I was weeing a lot, which can be due to our kidneys working overtime to get rid of any excess sugar. As I'm eating a low carb diet my high carb bananas were no longer an option, but a bit of Googling told me many low carb veggies can be better sources of potassium (and magnesium) than bananas are, so I make sure that I eat these regularly now. and more recently have discovered water filters with added magnesium. Problem solved!:) [/QUOTE]
