i get muscle spasms in my legs too.. They don't hurt, but they are hella annoying. What do you mean by cramping? As in "pins and needles" or do you mean a dull, muscular ache? I get the dull ache frequently. In fact, I have it now in both legs.

I do not know if I have diabetes, however, I suspect I may have it.

I started getting aches and pain in my legs about 3 months ago. Mostly in my lower legs. Little knots and aches. Not really muscle "cramps" that are painful. Like the other poster, they're just annoying and worriesome. I went to see my gp and he ordered bloodwork to make sure it wasn't an enzyme issue from my cholesterol medication (and it wasn't). He did find my iron stores were a little low and told me to take an otc iron pill for a month or so (which i've done). He also had me get the test where they measure the pressure in your arms and legs to rule out claudication (results were normal).

Final conclusion: none. He told me I could try drinking some tonic water before going to bed. I did that once. I guess i'm coming to my own conclusion that it's some level of neuropothy. It seems to have eased off in the past month but is definitely still there. I can feel it right now. It also seems to be recurring in the same spots (but not always). When I get on the treadmill, it hits after about 10 or 15 minutes but I can exercise through it.

I was scared it was dvt or pad but he doesn't think it is.

Diabetes sucks.
