Thank you for the information. The cramps are all over my legs, I'm finding all sorts of ways to stretch out, and muscles I didn't even know I had!!

Diabetics are known to be more susceptible to cramps than the general population. It can occur with type 1 and type 2 diabetes, but appears to be more prevalent with type 2, possibly because patients with insulin resistance tend to lose magnesium in their urine, contributing to lower levels.
Should you be unfortunate enough to experience another bout of cramps in your legs, whatever you do, don't point your feet! It's a natural reaction, but prolongs the agony. Instead grab your toes and pull upwards towards your knees.
You may want to support your feet in bed with a pillow. I find that simple precaution prevents me from flexing my feet in my sleep.
Thank you kind PM!@Estragon hero of the Hive after the challenges of the last year just saying!
Ouchie! I’ve been a Trammer Drammer before now. Please be aware, you probably are, it is addictive and made me constipated. So, not for the long term, speak with your GP.Boooo! Had to take tramadol at 4am
I’ve been taking it (prescribed obv) for 2 years now, nothing else dulls the pain. I have spinal stenosis and 3 prolapsed disk and waiting for an operation. Now I have my hba1c under 69 I’m back on the waiting list. I’m down to 2 tabs twice a day mostly but if I mow the lawn (nearly quarter of an acre) or have to lift stuff, I suffer for a couple of days. All under control thank you, I appreciate your commentOuchie! I’ve been a Trammer Drammer before now. Please be aware, you probably are, it is addictive and made me constipated.

Oh dear me. How awful.I have spinal stenosis and 3 prolapsed disk and waiting for an operation.
You're welcome. I hope the op comes soon.All under control thank you, I appreciate your comment
Thank you for your kind advice. As an alcoholic I'll have to skip the gin, but the tonic sounds good. xxMorning All so 7.1 again. @Estragon hero of the Hive after the challenges of the last year just saying! @callyandy when in a leg cramp the best way out I have found is to flex toes and breathe deeply right down to your toes and exhale slowly several times works a treat. Used to use this technique with our boys after sport a million years ago. And there’s always gin & LC tonic! Stay safe in Storm Babet if you are in the eye of it.
