@A DiabetesTeam Member you could do a blood test for electrolytes to see if you are magnesium or potassium deficient

That would rule in/out a deficiency as the cause

Have you ever had a vascular ultrasound?

Your Family Doc (that's what we call a Primary or Internist in Canada) can give you a referral

A Vascular Doc will be able to look at the results and tell if it's something like Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) or Peripheral Neuropathy or a few other vascular diseases/issues that could be resulting in the pain

And if all that checks out then it's of to the Neurologist to see if it's a neurological issue and not vascular or deficiency related 😁

Sometimes you have to figure out what it "ISN'T" before you find what it is 😆

And of course you may have just pulled a muscle and the diabetes is greatly extending the healing/recovery time

Heating pad works for me

Here in the states you can also get a product called TherraWorx . Not sure if Amazon sells it, but it contains magnesium. Comes in the form of spray, foam, or roll on. I have used it in the past to help me sleep better. I have Restless Leg Syndrome, had to be put on Requip.

Hope this works.Here's a picture of the pkg of Hylands Leg Cramp pills

Looks like it didn't work.Just put the words Hylands Leg Cramps in google.
