Diabetes leg cramps? A reason and a solution

 

 

Diabetes leg cramps are one of the more common complaint from those who suffer from high blood sugar, the pain is know as the very familiar “cramping at night”. Excessive blood sugar causes a cell damage which can result in this painful condition. Too much blood glucose (sugar) affects all the cells of the body; the lower limbs are very susceptible to blood vessel damage.   Diabetes leg cramps or numbness are signs of systematic disturbances which can lead to the loss of the leg if not corrected.

 

 

 

What causes the muscles to tighten?

 

There is a delicate balance of water in the cells of the body, but when blood sugar is consistently elevated it causes a disruption within the cell which results in muscle cramping. Diabetics frequently urinate, which, in turn, leads to a considerable loss of electrolytes such as magnesium, sodium, and potassium. Lower levels of potassium and sometimes and other minerals commonly result in cramping of the muscles in the legs. There is a very important message which can be learned from diabetes leg cramps; this painful condition highlights the very dangerous metabolic changes that are happening in the blood. The kidneys of a person with high blood sugar are usually overworked and this is the cause of the tremendous amount of kidney disease which is associated with high blood sugar.

 

 

A stressed holistic system

 

Why do diabetics have higher levels of depression, heart disease, breast cancer, kidney failure and stroke? It is important that we understand that all the cells of the body are affected by excessive blood sugar, excessive glucose must be viewed as a poison through out the whole body, the sooner that a diabetic realizes that the illness is a poison level on sugar in the bloodstream the sooner the person can work on removing the poison.  

 

The lower limbs are particularly affected by high blood sugar, the arteries and blood vessels malfunction, and this is why many diabetics suffer from artery blockage in the legs. Diabetics are prone to plaque filled legs arteries which can cause heart attacks and the loss of the limb.  The message is clear that any negative affects on the legs should not be ignored.

 

There is some good news for those with diabetes leg cramps, there is a diet from Europe which has been saving the lower limbs from amputation, and the diet has been purported to heal the nerves and clears the arteries in the legs. It is used in over 10 countries.
