Hello Everyone,

My name is Becci, I live in Staffordshire (UK). I have a 13 yr old Daughter who is currently undergoing tests for suspected Diabetes.
I just wanted to ask if jerky leg movements are common as she explains it as having a shiver up her leg; she also moves one leg a lot throughout the night?
Thank you in advance for your help.
