Bad Cramp

[falcon123]

I woke about 3:30 am with a really bad cramp in my right calf. When I did my BG about 7:00 it was about 4.1 so was probably lower in the early hours. It is about 15 years since I have had anything so bad - it still feels like I have had a massive kick in the back of the leg. Previous to that it ws just before diagnosis (over 40 years ago) when this thin thirsty kid would be running around and suddenly pull up with agonising cramp. I am starting to think it is a symtom that your body could be running out of sugar for energy be that as a low or a high (i.e. running out of insulin). Has anybody else experienced this?

I can sympathise with you too .... I get then in my feet ( both) and toes.... Very painful and takes ages to go! Was given tabs but they don't work either They are quinine..useless!

I get cramp in my calfs from time to time, it is agony. I find if I can put pressure on it by standing up it helps ease the pain, but it doesn't work for everyone😡
