Hi - sorry to hear about your increased pain. It is possible that the tingling/numbness and the cramping pains you are experiencing could be neuropathy. It sounds to me like you might benefit from a trip to the doctor and a discussion of this and find out if it is a condition related to your diabetes. Good luck to you and keep us posted as to how you do.
