For some reason leg cramps seem to increase with diabetes. I never
used to get them, and since diagnosis, I've had many. And, always on
the right leg. The most recent was on Christmas morning. And, always
when I'm sleeping at night. The right calf really burns like a bitch
when the muscle knots up. The right calf is sore as heck the next
day. I keep track of the frequency of occurrance and intensity in my
Health software. See Sig.
