leg cramps

[fatbuggermex]

hi all, I had legs cramps, especially when i walked, i was advised to take tonic water as it has quinine in it. I must say that this helped. There is a low cal version and is nice. However i wasnt aware that i was diabetic at that time. I went to my gp, then i was given tests and an xray at the hospital, and the results are, ostioarthritus in my knee. So what im saying is that the cramps may not be down to the diabetes.

I also had leg cramps before discovering that I had diabetes. I was much better when taking calcium lactate. I can't remember the dose, but could check if you want. My cramps would you, in part at least, because I was overweight. I hope yours in improve as mine have!

Cramps are a definite symptom, I was jumping out of bed in the middle of the night pre-diagnosis with my calves tying in knots.
