Dear sir,
The calf cramps that you are talking about is a very common feature of peripheral neuropathy which is commonly due to diabetes. I suggest you start on methylcobolmin and pregablin(75mg) combination , daily one tablet at night for one month. A local analgesic cream when applied over the affected area before going to sleep will also help.
